Those Jefferson residents that still have Christmas trees up but don’t know how to get rid of them, City crews will be picking them up for free next week.

City sanitation crews will be picking up any discarded Christmas trees Monday through Thursday next week, during regular garbage pickup. Trees need to be at curbside by 6am on your designated garbage pickup day. Crews ask that the cut end of the tree is facing the street to make pickup go smoother.

City officials thank residents for their cooperation.
