Treecycle

It's the day after Christmas and time to start thinking about what to do with that Christmas tree.


Here you go, straight from the City of Mesa website:


"Mesa residents can help the City of Mesa give the environment a present this holiday season by recycling their Christmas trees. Residents are encouraged to bring their tree to any of the free drop-off locations [listed here.] Residents are asked to remove all nails, stands, tinsel, lights and ornaments from trees. Flocked trees will not be accepted because the flocking does not break down in the environment and wreaths will not be accepted because of the metal wiring." The city also takes donations of live potted trees which can be dropped off at any fire station.


While we're talking about city services, just a little FYI: Did you know that trash and recycling barrels should be left in the gutter now instead of the curb? This makes the streets available for pedestrians. For more information on the new regulation for placing barrels click here.
