The city of Winston-Salem will collect Christmas trees and put them to good use as mulch for its parks and roadsides.
People living in single family homes inside the city limits can put their Christmas trees at the curb for pick-up during the regular city brush collection. Please be aware that it may take several weeks to collect all the trees.
People who live in apartments, who live outside the city limits or who want to dispose of their trees quickly can drop them off at one of several locations.
In either case, all lights, decorations, stands and nails must be removed from trees.
The following drop of locations will receive trees through Jan. 31:
- Crawford Park, 4226 Oak Ridge Dr.
