Friday Trash Days And Tree Composting Next Two Weeks

You’ve probably already noticed no trash or recycling pickup occurred today, that’s because we’re on a Friday schedule in Victory Heights this week and next due to the holidays. Also, the city reminds us, “residents who subscribe to curbside food and yard waste collection can put their Christmas trees and holiday greens out on their regular collection day at no extra charge, from Dec. 26, 2012 to Jan. 13, 2013. Multi-family buildings can put out one tree next to each food and yard waste cart per collection day at no extra charge during this time.  Trees should be cut into sections of six feet long or shorter, with branches trimmed to less than four feet to fit into the collection trucks. Sections should be bundled with string or twine. Metal, plastic and ornaments in trees and wreaths must be removed.”
City residents can also take trees free of charge to the North and South Recycling stations (1350 North 34th Street is the closest) until January 13th.
