Whether you chopped down your own tree, or purchased one from a local nursery here in Laramie, having a live tree at Christmas means that you now have to figure out the best way to dispose of it.

The City of Laramie has a free Christmas tree pickup from January 4 through January 27. Simply leave your tree by the curb and the Street Department will pick it up and chip it. Trees must be stripped of all lights, decorations, wires, etc.

Then if you want any of the chipping material to use as mulch, you can take what you need at the storage site along the gravel road at Labonte Park.

It's a pretty simple way to dispose of your beautiful Christmas tree, which only requires hauling the tree to your curb. If you have any questions, contact the Laramie Street Department by calling (307)721-5276 or (307)721-5277.
