Wreaths should be disposed of in the garbage for regular weekly pickup.
Those that wish to dispose of their tree can also bring it to the recycling center. Trees can also be cut down to 4 feet and less than 50 pounds and leave them out for their regular garbage pick-up.
"This is not a preferred option since it is not recycling the Christmas tree," the city says on its Web site.
