Christmas Tree-Cycling -
December 26, 2006 through January 5, 2007
 When Christmas is
over and the tree comes down what do you do with it? Leave it out
for the garbage truck to be hauled off to take up space in the landfill?
You don't have to do that any more. You can drop off your tree at one of
four convenient locations between December 26, 2006 and Saturday,
January 5, 2007 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. The drop-off locations are
the Halls Convenience Center, Forks of the River Convenience Center, Solway
Greenwaste Facility and Ijams Nature Center. Trees will be chipped at
Halls and Solway on Saturday, January 5th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
You can take mulch home for free that day. Mark your
calendar now for Saturday, January 5, 2007.
Drop-Off Dates and Times
Important: There is NO fee to drop off a tree between December 26, 2005
and January 5, 2006. At other times there is a nominal fee to drop off
yard waste - logs, stumps, branches, brush, clippings, etc.
