Don’t Curb It…S.W.A.P. It!

“The City of St. Cloud’s Parks & Recreation department will be hosting the annual Don’t Curb It…S.W.A.P. It! event (aka Tree SWAP). This is where the St. Cloud Tree Advisory Committee – S.W.A.P. (St. Cloud’s Winning Arbor Patrol) team encourages residents to recycle their Christmas tree towards an investment in our continued efforts to restore the Urban Forest. Instead of tossing an old Christmas tree to the curb the S.W.A.P. team offers a “tree-rific” opportunity to swap it for a containerized tree or palm that best suits their needs. This is free event to help reduce people tossing trees to the curb and great way to get more trees planted in our community. The trees are chipped into mulch and are also given away for free at the event it’s a win-win-win situation. If you do not have an old Christmas tree you can still stop by to get a free tree.

Tree availability will be based on first come first serve. Please have any live Christmas trees be free of any decorations before dropping them off.”
