Don’t leave your Christmas tree on the curb for the landfill when you can drop it off in one of 174 collection points around Paris (mostly in parks and green spaces) to be recycled into mulch for use by Paris’s municipal gardeners as a natural weed prevention cover: http://www.paris.fr/recyclonsnossapins

Each year the City of Paris accepts trees for recycling from December 26-January 20th. They should be:

• without a plastic bag (take it out and throw out the bag once you drop it off)
• without any decorations, flocking or tinsel (and if you’re still doing that to your tree you probably don’t give a sh** about the planet anyway)
• cut or rooted, both are accepted as long as they’re real trees and not plastic trees

Fun fact: In 2018 the city collected 85,209 trees, and in 2021 they collected 124,488 trees!

Most of the collection points are open 24/7, just check the website for the one closest to you.
