January Tree Recycling Drives Open Across Cities in Mexico and Spain

Authorities route natural trees to mulch or compost for parks under drop‑off rules that require removing all decorations.

Overview

  • Mexico City’s environment secretariat is receiving trees and poinsettias at designated sites through mid‑February, with deliveries required free of lights, plastics, nails and other residues.
  • Monterrey has 49 collection points operating until Feb. 14, targeting roughly 3,000–3,500 trees to be shredded for compost used in municipal green areas.
  • Tijuana’s “Recicla tu Árbol Navideño 2026” runs Jan. 7–Feb. 7 across nine delegations, producing mulch for parks while reminding residents that trash trucks do not collect trees.
  • Mérida’s program runs Jan. 5–Feb. 9 at Mega Puntos Verdes, with optional home pickup via Servilimpia for 100 pesos and tree material reused as compost and soil cover.
  • In Spain, Barcelona enabled 227 drop‑off points from Jan. 7–17 for recycling into mulching material, while Madrid is accepting live abetos at El Retiro and Casa de Campo through Jan. 31 for replanting when viable or composting.
