Christmas is here, and Cortez and Durango are facilitating drop-off sites for tree disposal after the holiday.
Be sure to remove all decorations, including ornaments, tinsel and trimmings, before disposal, the cities asked.
The city of Cortez is operating two Christmas tree-disposal sites this year, it announced Thursday.
Sunday through Jan. 8, residents can drop off their trees in the parking lot at the southeast corner of Elm and First streets or at the BMX parking lot on the south side of Empire Street.
Alternatively, Public Works Crews will collect Christmas trees curbside between Jan. 3 and Jan. 7 for locals who cannot make it to the recycling sites. The city asked that trees not be placed in the street or alley.
For more information, call 970-565-7320.
Through Jan. 31, Durango residents can recycle their trees at a drop-off location in Santa Rita Park near the playground.
There is no curbside pickup of trees.
For more information, call 970-375-7321.
