City of Frederick workers will collect residents' Christmas trees Monday and Tuesday, a City Hall spokeswoman said.
City personnel will collect trees from the city's north side on Monday and the south side on Tuesday. The north-south dividing line is (from west to east) Yellow Springs Road, Rosemont Drive, 2nd Street, Church Street extended and Gas House Pike.
The city recycles the trees that are collected. Trees are ground up and utilized as mulch on city properties as a way to reduce material costs and to keep these biodegradable items out of the Frederick County landfill. This year the city expects to collect between 6,000 and 8,000 trees, Public Information Officer Nancy Gregg Poss said.
Poss asked residents to ensure that trees are placed on curbs and are free of ornaments, garland, tinsel, lights, or tree stands. Plastic bags should also be removed, Poss said. "
