Calendar

Residents have an opportunity to properly dispose of fresh-cut Christmas trees for recycling during Irving’s annual Christmas Tree Roundup.

Fresh-cut Christmas trees will be collected as part of Irving’s regular weekly brush/bulky waste pickup Dec. 27 to Jan 12.

Residents also can bring Christmas trees to any of the following drop-off locations at the designated area during the collection dates:

• Cottonwood Creek Park, 4051 N. Story Road
• Hunter Ferrell Landfill, 110 E. Hunter Ferrell Road (Hours: 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday; closed Dec. 24-25 and Jan. 1)
• Las Colinas Service Center, 5964 Riverside Drive (southern section of the parking lot)
• Southwest Park, 2800 W. Shady Grove Road

Whether placing trees at the curb or dropping off, residents must remove all decorations, such as tree stands, lights, tinsel, nails and ornaments. Plastic bags covering the tree should be removed. All fresh-cut Christmas trees collected as part of this program will be mulched and made available for a nominal fee at Hunter Ferrell Landfill.
