Reader says the town recycled these Christmas trees and make into mulch?
Christmas Tree pick-ups.
Today on Fairfield Ave. between Glen and Meadowbrook, sanitation did their usual, take my garbage out of the can, proceed to throw the cover on the ground and let today’s beautiful snow fall into my now empty trash can.
While piling up garbage bags on the curb, sanitation proceeded to amass a pile of Christmas ( sorry.. Holiday) trees near the pile of garbage.
When the truck showed, they proceeded to combine both the garbage and trees into the hopper.
I thought the town recycled these trees and make into mulch? We have our own giant mulcher.
So, if these trees actually went to the dump, we have to pay more “tipping” fees to the dump.
Roberta….. what’s going on?? Is this a new rule?
The usual confusion when there a little snow on the ground and trucks are busy elsewhere —
Any chance of replanting these trees…?
Since we don’t have lead in the water I’m thinking that the old trees should be able to take root again.
Christmas tress typically have no roots attached. They have zero chance of being replanted and surviving. They are grown, or more accurately, farmed, for the sole purpose of being used for a couple of weeks and then disposed of.
#3 – sorry, I had my tongue firmly implanted in my cheek.
I know what you mean #3. Some of these posters are just so dam serious. Let lighten up , it ok to laugh.
