Hays County, city reuse recycled Christmas trees to revamp area parks

Recycled Christmas trees acquired by Hays County will be used as mulch for county parks such as Jacob’s Well in Wimberley and the Five Mile Dam in San Marcos.

Through a six-day recycling effort, which went from Jan. 8-13, Hays County citizens donated a total of 49 trees to locations in Wimberley and Driftwood.

The recycling effort was made possible by a joint operation headed by Recycling and Solid Waste Department and the Hays County Transportation Department. The Hays County Parks and Recreation Department will use the mulch for additional trails at county parks.
