O, Christmas Tree (how do I get rid of thee?)

If you're like me, you've waited until this weekend to take down your Christmas tree. In case you're wondering how to get rid of that 8 ft Douglas Fir, here's some info from the City of Beacon Web site: "Christmas Trees are picked up at curbside after the holiday (note: my tree was removed on Tuesday morning during regular trash pick-up.) The City offers to chip brush left at curbside by appointment." So if you want to mulch your tree instead of leaving it out on your sidewalk, call 838-5000.
