Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree! How do I dispose of you?

Now that Christmas is over, here are some guidelines about setting out your Christmas tree for collection. Christmas trees are recycled and used for composting to keep them out of the regular waste stream.

• The Village's Department of Public Works will deploy personnel for tree collection through the end of January.
• Christmas trees must be free of all decorations and lights. Please remove all tinsel, lights and decorations prior to placing the Christmas tree out on the curb.
• Christmas trees WILL NOT BE PICKED UP if they are placed in plastic bags.
• Christmas trees must be placed at the curb, not in the street, for collection.
