Out With The Old [Christmas Tree], In With The New
I mentioned in my last post that the BCRE Christmas tree is down — now I just need to get rid of it.
In Durham, residents who need to dispose of trees should place them at the curb on their normally scheduled trash collection day. trees should be cut in pieces if they are taller than 6 feet, and should be free of ornaments, tinsel, etc. It may take several days after your normal trash day for your tree to be collected.
Alternately, trees may be brought to the City’s Waste Disposal & Recycling Center at 2115 E. Club Blvd., Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday, 7:30 a.m. Through March 2, there will be no charge for Christmas trees dropped off at the Center. as a final option, trees may be brought to the City’s Paper Shredding and E-Waste Event on Saturday, January 14 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Sears parking lot at Northgate Mall.
