Sites offering free tree recycling

Sedgwick County is once again offering free tree recycling. About 5,350 trees were turned into mulch at Sedgwick County sites last year.

People can drop off their trees through Jan. 12 and pick up mulch, which will be available for free on a first-come, first-served basis at the recycling sites.

No matter where you recycle your tree, be sure to remove all decorations and lights.
