ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Christmas is over and now is time to start fresh into the New Year. Soon, the Christmas tree has to go down. In Rochester Hills, there are several ways to recycle your old Christmas tree.
GFL Environmental will collect discarded Christmas trees devoid of any ropes, lights, metal, plastic or other hangers during Christmas week and the following three weeks ending on Jan. 18.
