Tuesday is the final day for Hays residents to drop off their “formerly live” Christmas trees at the free disposal site north of the water plant.  If you don’t get that done, you can still place your tree in the alley for pick-up.

Hays city crews will make one trip through the alleys beginning Monday, January 14, to collect the discarded Christmas trees.  Again, be sure to first remove all decorations from the tree.  Crews expect to be done with the special collection within two days.

Midwest Energy personnel will use their equipment to chip the trees to make mulch.  The mulch will be placed at the Parks Department on the Highway 183 by-pass and is available for pick-up free of charge.
