Out with the old? Live trees accepted for recycling at Whitley County Solid Waste office
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
Now that Christmas is over, many people are packing up the ornaments and taking down the Christmas tree. For those Whitley County residents who had a live tree, for the sake of safety, it is probably now time to dispose of that tree -- but do you know how or where?
Whitley County Solid Waste will once again accept live spruce trees for recycling at the recycling center location on South Main Street in Columbia City. Director Jorell Tucker said residents may drop off their tree, free of charge, and leave it between the two orange cones in the parking lot area. Trees will be accepted for recycling at that location until January 9.
