One more thing. Is there an specific day for the Christmas tree collection? Thanks again.

Leave it at the curb on your trash/recycling day. Not accepted if "flocked" or overly covered in tinsel. Must not be in any lengths longer than four feet.

The direction on how and when to do this have been in the utility bill inserts and in the local papers - repeatedly. If in doubt, call PASCO.

Traditionally, Christmas trees should be displayed until 12th night, the 12th day of Christmas which is 6th January. Doing so beforehand is curtailing Christmas. It only starts on December 25th (or 24th arguably) up until then it is advent or preparation for Christmas. Please don't cut the Christmas season short. It is so sad to see them on the curb before the children go back to school.
