Grinding of the Greens Event is Discontinued

Nov. 22, 2024

The annual Grinding of the Greens Live Christmas Tree Recycling event, will not be held in 2025. Grinding of the Greens was a 30-year collaboration between the Fayetteville Public Works Commission (PWC), the City of Fayetteville, and Duke Energy Progress. While this event will not take place this January, PWC is exploring a new sustainability themed project that will serve as a replacement in the future and benefit the community. 

In the meantime, the City of Fayetteville’s Solid Waste Department will continue to provide Christmas tree collection as part of the regular yard waste services following the holiday season. Residents are encouraged to place their live Christmas trees at the curb on their scheduled pickup day. Residents should ensure that all ornaments, lighting, and metal decorations are removed before placing your tree at the curb.

Stay tuned for more information on future programs, and PWC would like to thank you for your support of this recycling program for the last 30 years.
