[Chat] Fw: [I-NEIGHBORS] City Christmas Tree Collection:

[Schlegel, William B CW4 RES USAR USARC]

Department of Public Works Director, David E. Scott, today announced
this season's schedule for Christmas Tree recycling.

DPW will provide Christmas Tree mulching every Saturday during the
month of January 2009, at the Citizen Drop-off Center, 701 Reedbird
Avenue from 9am until 4pm. This is an increase of three days over what
was provided in past years. Please bring your own bags or containers if
you would like to scoop up some mulch to take back home and use in your
yard or garden. While supplies last, community groups are encouraged to
come by during this time to also bag up free mulch for neighborhood
gardens.

For residents who cannot bring their trees for mulching, DPW will offer
curbside tree collection. From Friday, January 2, 2009 through Saturday,
January 31, 2009, trees should be set out on your second trash
collection day, which is Thursday, Friday or Saturday. They
should be placed in the same location as your trash and put out no
later then 7 a.m. on collection day. Remember to remove all tinsel and
ornaments from the trees before they are set out for curbside collection
or mulching. Only trees brought to Reedbird Avenue will be mulched.

For additional information, please call 311.
