As the festive season wraps up, Blaine residents can start to think about disposing of their Christmas trees, but luckily, there's a plan in place. Walters Recycling and Refuse will be doing the heavy lifting, offering Christmas tree collection during the first two weeks of the New Year, giving locals a hassle-free way to say goodbye to their festive firs.
According to the details released by the City of Blaine, the pickup schedule is set for January 2-6 and January 8-12, with a slight delay on the first week to observe the New Year’s Day holiday, so if your street's normal trash collection is Monday, expect to haul your tree out on Tuesday this time around, and the trees are picked up the day following your usual garbage day, which means no need to cram it all into one day, but you've got to remember to set out your tree on the right day or else it sits, simple as that.
Here's how it works: the day after your regular garbage collection, the folks at Walters will swoop in to collect the trees—no tinsel or ornaments, please, just the naked tree. They're not taking any chances either, as the garbage truck drivers will be scribbling down names and addresses to make sure no tree goes unnoticed.
The service is a convenient way for residents to dispose of their trees without the hassle of hauling it themselves to a recycling center, and it ensures the trees are handled in an eco-friendly manner, no need to fret about where it's going or if it's piling up in some landfill—these trees will be recycled properly, so you can rest easy after tossing out your tree, besides, Walters Recycling and Refuse will make certain not a single needle is left astray.
