CHRISTMAS TREE
RECYCLING PROGRAM
The holiday season is still in full swing, but in preparation of the momentous task of un-decorating, we would like to remind and encourage anyone who has a live Christmas tree to recycle it instead of just putting it out in the trash.
Christmas Tree Recycling is easy to do. Simply remove all ornaments, tinsel, lights, and any other artificial decorations and drop your "live" tree at our designated drop zone. This year's drop zone will once again be located at City Hall, 409 Kyles Lane, Fort Wright, KY. Look for the tree-corral in the vicinity of the Guardian Angel Garden found on the north east side of the city building.
Christmas Tree Drop-Off began on Sunday, December 26th, 2022 and ends Monday, January 16th, 2023.
Once the collection time has passed the Kenton County Public Works Department will turn the trees into mulch that will be used at a future date.
Christmas Tree Recycling is offered "Free of Charge" to anyone wishing to drop off their live tree. For more information please do not hesitate to contact us at 859.331.1700 or via email at [email protected]

Holiday Lights Recycling Program
Now That's a Bright Idea!
From now until February 1st, holiday lights (traditional and LED-style bulbs) can be dropped off at various locations throughout Northern Kentucky - including the Fort Wright City Administration Building!
Our lobby is open 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, for you to drop off those broken or unwanted light strands. Before recycling, please remove any batteries, boxes, and bags. You can visit www.cohenusa.com/lights for more information.
This recycling event is made possible through a partnership between Kenton County Public Works / Solid Waste and Cohen Recycling.
There is a friendly competition between Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties to see which one can collect the most lights for recycling. Help Kenton County take the (lighted) crown!
