ST. JOHNS COUNTY, Fla. – St. Johns County Parks & Recreation is hosting its free “treecycling” program so residents can recycle their Christmas trees into mulch for the county’s parks.
Only real trees will be accepted at the treecycling stations, and all the decorations must be removed before the tree is dropped off.
