Keep waste out of the landfill and help nourish Lenexa’s landscapes. Lenexa Parks & Recreation turns your discarded pumpkins and evergreens into compost that keeps our city’s gardens and landscaping thriving.

Christmas tree drop-off

Dec. 26, 2025–Jan. 13, 2026 | 9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily

When the holidays end, bring your natural evergreen trees, wreaths and garlands to Little Mill Creek Park parking lot for recycling. 

Want curbside pickup instead?

Scouts BSA Troop 186 offers live holiday tree collection on Dec. 27 and 28, 2025, as well as Jan. 3 and 4, 2026. Schedule your pickup at Recycle.Troop186.org, place your tree at the curb by 9 a.m. on your chosen day, and the Scouts will handle the rest.

They request a minimum donation of $10 for this service.
