City of Lucas Arbor Day

Celebrate Texas Arbor Day with the City of Lucas!

Every year, Texas Arbor Day provides an opportunity to focus on the importance of environmental conservation through tree planting and sustainable practices. The City of Lucas is proud to support this vital cause through its Arbor Day and Recycling Program, an event dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of our community and promoting eco-friendly practices.

Supporting Healthy Ecosystems in Lucas 🌍

At the heart of the Arbor Day event is the city’s ongoing commitment to sustaining healthy ecosystems through the Keep Lucas Beautiful program. This initiative is aimed at preserving the environment, encouraging responsible recycling, and ensuring that future generations can enjoy the lush greenery and healthy landscapes that make Lucas such a wonderful place to live.

What’s Happening on Texas Arbor Day? 🌱

The City of Lucas partners with the Legacy 4-H Club each year to give away free tree saplings to help beautify and green our community. Whether you’re planting one for your own yard or donating one to a public space, these free trees play an important role in the city’s continued efforts to create a more sustainable environment. Tree planting helps improve air quality, supports wildlife, and adds aesthetic value to the city.

Electronics Recycling ♻️

Alongside tree planting, the city hosts an electronic recycling initiative to ensure that old, unused electronics are disposed of properly, without harming the environment. The Green Glove Technology Recycling team makes it easy for residents to drop off their old electronics for safe, responsible recycling.

Paper Shredding with Shred-It 📄

To help you securely dispose of your sensitive documents, Shred-It Paper Recycling is set up for drive-through paper shredding. This service helps prevent identity theft and allows you to clear out paper clutter in an environmentally friendly way.

How to Participate

The Arbor Day and Recycling Program is a simple and effective way for Lucas residents to get involved and make a positive impact. You can stop by the event to pick up your free tree sapling and drop off any electronics or paper you want recycled—all at one convenient location.

The city’s continued efforts to promote sustainability and reduce waste are made possible by the participation of its dedicated residents. Whether you’re picking up a tree or bringing in your old electronics, you’re helping create a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable Lucas for everyone.
