Trees will be accepted at these park sites through Friday, January 14, 2011. Trees must be free of ALL decorations. Please remove the ornaments, tinsel, lights and tree stand. Do NOT put the tree in a plastic bag or cover it.
The trees will be ground into mulch that will be free and made available at these same sites.
