(Jan. 5, 2017) For people who spent a month or more nursing a Christmas tree in their living rooms, chances are this might be time to dispose of that old pine or spruce.
In Berlin, the town will offer free curbside collection next Wednesday, Jan. 11. Residents are asked to place live-cut trees on the curb by 6 a.m. for collection by the town’s public works department.
For people who lack curbside service, Christmas trees can be dropped off at the transfer station in Berlin along Flower Street or the Central Landfill until Jan. 10. For more information, contact the Town of Berlin Public Works Department at 410-641-4001 or email wpurnell@berlinmd.gov.
Snow Hill will also be offering curbside pickup of trees to residents on Jan. 9. For more information, contact Town Hall at 410-632-2080.
Pocomoke City is offering rolling Christmas tree pickup services, with the town collecting trees as they are put outside along with normal refuse. No end date for the service was provided. For more information, contact Town Hall at 410-957-1333.
In Ocean Pines, Republic Services customers can place trees at regular drop-off locations at no charge, Jan. 2-14. As in Berlin, trees must be stripped of all ornaments, tinsel, lights and other decorations.
The Ocean Pines Association is encouraging residents to check with their elderly neighbors to see if they need help disposing of decorated Christmas trees. For more information, contact Denise Sawyer, director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Ocean Pines Association, at 410-641-7717 ext. 3006 or dsawyer@oceanpines.org.
County residents either inside or outside a municipality can drop of Christmas trees at the Central Landfill in Newark and the Berlin, Pocomoke and Snow Hill Homeowners Convenience Centers at no cost through Jan. 31, 2017.
However, businesses and organizations that sold trees will not be permitted to drop off trees at the convenience centers, but may take them to the Central Landfill where applicable tipping fees will be assessed.
The trees will be ground into mulch for use at the Central Landfill.
