CARY WANTS BARE NAKED TREES

 

CARY , NC As families begin taking down their Christmas trees, the Town of Cary reminds citizens to remove all that glitters before turning their trees over to the Town for recycling.  Whether you’re putting the trees out for curbside collection or taking them to one of several conveniently located drop-off sites, be sure that all non-vegetative matter is removed, including lights, tinsel, ornaments and stands.

 

Cary ’s curbside collection begins on Monday, January 8, 2007 .  To ensure collection during this town-wide sweep, have trees at the curb by 7 a.m. that day.  Trees left at curb should not cover fire hydrants, sidewalks, or water meters.  Trees not collected during this first sweep will be accepted as regular yard waste beginning January 16, 2007 .

 

Do-It-Yourselfers not wanting to wait for curbside collection can take their clean trees to any of the following drop-off sites now through January 16, 2007 :

  • Cary Citizen Convenience Center , 313 North Dixon Ave.

  • Green Hope Elementary School , 1303 Upchurch Meadow Road

  • Oak Grove Elementary School , 10401 Penny Road
