City of Joplin announces dropoff spots for Christmas trees

(From the City of Joplin)

The City of Joplin will have three collection points for discarded, natural (live) Christmas trees starting December 26 and running through January 31. Bring your tree, completely stripped of all decorations, and place it near the “Christmas Tree” drop-off sign posted at one of the following locations: Humphrey Park on Utica Street in the Royal Heights area; the parking lot on the southwest corner in McIndoe Park at Glendale Road and Jackson Avenue; and the Public Works Center at 1301 West 2nd Street.

People are welcome to pick up the discarded trees for use in establishing fish habitat. The remaining trees will eventually be chipped up with other tree limbs and the resulting wood chips will be made available to the public. Look for wood chip giveaways on the City’s web site at www.joplinmo.org, or by calling the Recycling Department at 417-624-0820, extension 501.
