Both Pearland and Friendswood offer options to residents who need to discard their Christmas trees after the holidays.

In Friendswood, trees will be picked up during the regular trash days. However, the city will not have trash pickup on Christmas or on New Year’s Day, and there will not be any makeup days for those services.

In Pearland, trees can be dropped off at the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, put out on a resident’s designated green waste day or dropped off at the Brazoria County Precinct 2 building. Trees can be left in the front of the Precinct 2 gate.

All trees collected in Brazoria County will go toward the county’s Dunes Day project. The Dunes Day project is an annual project in Brazoria County to help restore the county’s sand dunes.
