When your Christmas tree is no longer green, you can still do the “green thing” and drop it off at the city of Hays’ free disposal site.

Midwest Energy will provide personnel and a wood chipper to chip the trees to make mulch.  The mulch will be placed at the Parks Department on the 183 Bypass and is available for pickup free of charge.

The location of the Christmas tree disposal site has changed, says Solid Waste Superintendent Marvin Honas:

Honas says all plastic, ornaments and lights should be removed from the trees.

Signs to the new site are posted.

The disposal site is open through Tuesday, January 7, 2014.
