Dexter, Missouri - Did you buy a live tree this year for Christmas?  Don’t know what to do with your tree after the holidays?  The Dexter Parks and Recreation Department has the solution. 

They encourage residents to recycle their Christmas Trees, saving landfill space and disposal costs.  They are accepting real Christmas Trees at the Dexter Pool parking lot now until the end of January. 

You may bring your real tree and drop it off during the daylight hours.  The trees must have all decorations, ornaments, tinsel, lights, and stands removed. These trees will be used as fish habitats and as shelter in the Dexter City Lake located on One Mile Road.

For more information about the Christmas tree drop-off site and program, contact the Dexter Parks and Recreation Department at 573-624-8244.
