Dispose of trees properly in county

Carlton County residents are encouraged to recycle their fresh-cut Christmas trees during Treecycling, a free program with drop-off locations throughout the region. Christmas trees, like yard waste, are banned from landfills in Minnesota.

After removing ornaments, lights, stands and bags, residents can dispose of trees properly by bringing them to a Treecycling site:

• SAPPI Fine Paper

(Gatehouse Entrance) East End Ave. B,

Cloquet

Dec. 23 through Jan. 16

• Moose Lake compost site (across from city garage)

Dec. 23 through Jan. 16

Area residents with questions about the program may call Karola Dalen, Carlton County resource and recycling coordinator at 218-384-9178 or email [email protected]. For more locations within the region, visit wlssd.com
