Mt. Pleasant to collect Christmas trees Jan. 3 to Jan. 13

Mt. Pleasant Street Department staff will be picking up discarded Christmas trees on weekdays, from Tuesday, Jan. 3, through Friday, Jan. 13. There is no charge. Trees are to be placed at the curb, even in areas where normal trash collection is in the alley. All tinsel and plastic bags must be removed and the butt ends of the trees are to face the street. Christmas tree remnants are processed through a wood chipper and taken to the city's compost site. Evergreen wreaths, etc. cannot be processed through the chipper and will not be collected.
