Don't Burn The Christmas Tree, Lakewood Will Collect Them
Make sure you get the ornaments and lights off before the tree is set out on the curb.
LAKEWOOD, OH — From Dec. 26 until about Jan. 12, crews in Lakewood will be making special trips to collect Christmas trees from residents. All a resident has to do is leave the tree at the curb and crews will do the rest.
Trees can be left out at any time, a spokesperson for the city told Patch. The tree may be outside for a few days, but crews will eventually remove the Christmas tree.
Residents will want to make sure they have stripped a tree of any decorations or other keepsakes before tossing it out. The trees will be chipped for mulch, according to the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District website.
