Christmas Tree Disposal - Give a Gift Back to Our Environment!
(Updated 12/19/03)

Consider buying a living tree this year or use an artificial tree. This will save landfill space and disposal costs of our city.

If you chose to buy a cut tree:

1. Be aware that THAT IT IS NO LONGER PERMISSIBLE TO DISCARD YOUR TREE IN THE CITY PARKS. Doing so could result in a fine of up to $500.

2. Our City will process the trees into mulch for flower beds in city parks. You can drop off your Christmas tree beginning December 26 through January 6 at one of the following locations:

• 2700 West Kentucky, South Muggs Park
  
  
• Hogan Park, Field #7, behind the Armory on Lamesa Road

How will this benefit you?

• Recycling Christmas trees will save 400 cubic yards of valuable landfill space.
  
  
• Recycling Christmas trees will save the City of Midland 900 hours of labor, over 800 gallons of gasoline and keep safety hazards from neighborhood parks.

IF YOU WISH TO "BUY LIVE" THIS YEAR
BUT HAVE NO PLACE TO PLANT A TREE...

Have we got a deal for you! The City of Midland will pick the tree up free of charge (just call 685-7356). The tree will be planted in a city park or a school.
