How to dispose/recycle your Christmas tree
BY MIKE PULFER
The Cincinnati Enquirer
If you don't need a little Christmas right this very moment, topple that tree in your living room and drag it out the door closest to the street.
As soon as you're sure all needles have dropped on the carpet and porch floor, scoot the skeleton up to the curb and say so-long.
But do it soon, if you live in Cincinnati, on your regular trash-collection day. After Friday, you'll have to call (591-6000, 24 hours) to make special disposal arrangements.
If you're a Hamilton County suburbanite, call 946-7777 or your municipal/township waste-collection office to find out about tree collections.
If you live in a part of Hamilton County where there is no municipal garbage collection, call the county yard waste hot line at 333-4755, or take the tree to a recycling station between 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. today:
• East: Evans Landscaping, 3700 Roundbottom Road, Newtown.
• West: Kuliga Park, 6717 Bridgetown Road, Green Township.
• North: Rumpke Sanitary Landfill, Struble Road and Colerain Avenue, Colerain Township.
All ornamentation, tinsel and lights must be removed from trees before they are recycled.
If you live outside Hamilton County, consult your county, township or municipal office.
Another option: WNKU-Radio's seventh annual Christmas Tree Recycling Day, 10 a.m.-2 p.m. today in Lot L of Northern Kentucky University in Highland Heights. Again, no tinsel or ornaments should be left on the trees.
Trees will be mulched by the Asplundh Tree Expert Co. Bring a bag and take home some mulch. The remainder will be used by NKU's landscaping department.
