The City of Covington and Rumpke will partner again for the 11th annual city Tree Recycling Program this year.
Residents can drop off their natural trees–artificial trees are not eligible–at the locations below from Dec. 26 to Jan. 18:
- South Covington: At the parking lot at Tripoli and Hands Pike, adjacent to Neighborhood Park.
- Devou Park: At the Urban Forestry Garage at 1625 Montague Road.
- Riverfront: In the parking lot at 14 Pete Rose Pier. (Follow Bakewell Street to its foot, go through the cut in the Ohio River floodwall, then look to the west in the gravel area.)
Residents can also schedule times for pickup services between Jan. 4 and Jan. 18 by calling Rumpke (800) 828-8171 at least 48 hours in advance.
All trees will be ground into mulch and used for both individual and organizational city beautification projects. Residents and businesses can schedule a mulch pickup by contacting Urban Forester Patrick Moore at pmoore@covingtonky.gov or (859) 292-2300.
