Looking for a sustainable way to get rid of your Christmas tree? Take it to the Christmas tree drop-off at Topaz Farm.
The Sauvie Island farm is hosting its annual Christmas tree drop-off event. This event is part of Topaz Farm’s ongoing program to convert thousands of pounds of organic material into biochar.
What’s biochar? It is a method to isolate carbon while creating healthier soil and healthier and tastier food without chemicals.
The biochar is added to the soil in Topaz Farm’s fields and greenhouses. It helps the soil hold onto nutrients, resulting in stronger, healthier and better tasting vegetables.
Most of the trees dropped off are made into biochar and a few are given to the goats as treats.
Make sure you remove all lights, ornaments, ribbons from trees and wreaths before heading the the farm.
There are no fees to drop off your tree. Plus, you can visit the farm animals and market during your visit.
The Christmas tree drop-off at Topaz Farm is Saturday, January 3, and Sunday, January 4, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The farm is at 17100 NW Sauvie Island Road in Portland. For more information, visit Topaz Farm’s website.
