Christmas tree removal will be
provided between the dates of January 2 and January 11, 2013, by the City of La
Crosse Refuse and Recycling. Trees will be removed from the boulevard daily and
recycled. Tree recycling offers an environmentally friendly alternative of
product repurposing compared to disposal in landfill or personal burning.
A continual rotation of pick-up,
from north to south, will be performed by the removal crew through January 11.
The city cannot guarantee the time of removal for any particular address, so it
is important that trees are placed on the boulevard by 7 a.m. each
morning. As a separate operation from normal garbage and recycle removal,
there is no guarantee the trees will be removed on the same day.
The City of La Crosse requests
that residents remove all tinsel, ornaments, and tree bags prior to placing
trees on the boulevard.
The trees will go through a
recycling/repurposing process of being made into wood chips by the forestry
department. At a later date, the wood chips will be available at the city waste
site on Isle La Plume.
