HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The third annual "Operation Christmas Clean Up" event is scheduled for Saturday, January 8, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at two locations in Madison County: John Hunt Park and Madison City Schools Stadium.
Residents will be able to recycle Christmas trees, flattened and broken-down cardboard boxes, batteries and old electronics. All lights and ornaments must be removed from trees before they are recycled. The operation will not accept artificial trees, wrapping paper and packaging materials.

“Over the past couple of years that we’ve held this event, we’ve seen tremendous success with residents bringing trees and other accepted recyclable materials to the event,” said SWDA Executive Director John “Doc” Holladay. “We are thankful for our partners that team with SWDA to provide convenient drop-off locations for residents’ extra holiday-related items."
