Residents in the City of Washington can discard Christmas trees through January 12th. Christmas trees can be dropped off in the designated area in the southeast corner of the square. Also, the city’s maintenance and construction department will pick up trees on the corners of intersections throughout town. If placing a tree on the corner, be sure to not put it around a fire hydrant. In addition, trees can be taken to the waste water treatment facility, which is open 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
