A drop-off site for discarded Christmas trees will be set up at Marion County Park starting today.

It will be located at the entrance of the park and will be available until January 15th.

Also, the Marion County Conservation Board will be collecting discarded Christmas trees in Knoxville on Friday, January 2nd from 8am until noon. Pickup routes will only be driven once.

Trees should be free of all decorations, tree stands, metal fasteners, tinsel, and should not be in plastic bags.

All trees will be used for wildlife cover and fish habitats in Conservation Board areas.
