Don’t forget to recycle your Christmas tree! The Sanitation Division will pick up discarded trees on scheduled collection days from front curbsides. Before setting your tree out for collection, remove the tree’s stand and all ornaments, lights, tinsel and plastic. The City composts clean trees, but can only do that if they are free of all decorations. If you live south of Lovers Lane collection is free if the tree is at the curb by January 15. For residents who live north of Lovers Lane, curb collection is free through January 16. Please place your tree at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on the last collection day. After those dates, the collection fee is $33.30. If you place your tree at curbside and do not remove the tree stand, lights or ornaments, your next monthly water bill will show a $33.30 charge. For more information, call the Sanitation Division at 214-987-5451, or dial 311.
