Where to Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Birmingham The City of Mountain Brook and the Birmingham Zoo's Annual Christmas Tree Recycling Event 2630 Cahaba Road, Birmingham, AL 35223 Hours: Wednesday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., closed Sunday & Monday In an effort to help both residents and the Birmingham Zoo, the city of Mountain Brook hosts its annual Christmas tree recycling event during the zoo's normal business hours. Follow the signs to the designated tree drop zone that can be found through the construction entrance. Once trees are dropped off, they are chipped and made into mulch that helps the zoo control runoff and erosion throughout the grounds. Be sure all trees are clean and bare to ensure a speedy drop off experience. The event runs from December 26 through January 11. Curbside Pickup Residents in the Birmingham metro area, including Homewood, Hoover, Vestavia and Gardendale, can recycle their tree via curbside pickup. Tree pickups happen on each city's designated trash pickup day. After trees are picked up, they are chipped and used for city landscaping.
