Drop-off locations:
- - City residents of Myrtle Beach, Conway, Surfside Beach, Loris and Aynor may place trees on the street curb for pick-up.
- - Myrtle Beach residents may also visit 10th Avenue North, behind Myrtle Waves.
- - City residents of North Myrtle Beach may leave trees curbside January 2-20.
- - Cherry Grove - Public parking lot at 15th Avenue North and Ocean Boulevard.

- - Ocean Drive - Public parking lot on Main Street between Hillside Drive and Ocean Boulevard.
- - Windy Hill - Public parking lot on Seaview Street between 37th Avenue South and 39th Avenue South.
Residents outside of the city limits may visit one of the 24 Solid Waste Authority Recycling Centers located throughout the county.
The mulch will be available to all citizens while supplies last. Bring your own container to collect the mulch. No wreaths, please.
