“As part of our continued Quality of Life efforts in our city and prioritizing sustainable disposal practices that are environmentally responsible and economically sensible, the City of Troy will be picking up real Christmas trees and offering Christmas tree free drop-offs at the Alamo starting in January,” Mayor Carmella R. Mantello said in a statement.
The effort will take place between January 2 and 13.
What's behind the collecting of trees? Rather than clogging up the landfill with them, they can be turned into mulch or allowed to naturally break down over time.
Alternatively, residents may bring real Christmas trees to the Troy Resource Management Facility (a/k/a/ the Alamo), located at Main Street and East Industrial Parkway, on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., also between January 2 and 13.
The City's instructions for participating in the collection:
- Take all ornaments, lights and decorations off of the tree, and remove the tree stand;.
- Place the tree next to your recycling and garbage containers on your normal collection day: i.e., Thursday night for Friday pickup for Terrace homes.
