Saying Goodbye to your Christmas Tree in Baltimore County

Happy New Year 2012

2012 has finally arrived which means that the holidays are now officially over and all the Christmas decorations need to be packed away. In my household we always have a live tree and this year to took a trip out to Gaver Tree Farm in Mount Airy with client friends to find one. We picked out and then cut down the prettiest Canaan Fir tree of all.......for a lot less than buying a tree pre cut. It was a great fun afternoon with hot chocolate, plenty of exercise, lots of laughter and a couple of great trees tied to the roof of the truck....with a little help..

The tree brightened up our home through December and also made the room smell like Christmas- (My 5 year old's words, not mine!)

Now it's time to say farewell.

Baltimore County trash collectors will pick up Christmas trees for recycling during a two-week period in January.

The rules for getting your tree picked up are simple:

• Set out the tree only. No bags or decorations or tree stands.
• Trees must be left in front of the house.

Collectors will pick up the trees during a two-week period beginning Jan. 10. To ensure they pick up your tree they must be set out at the curb no later than Jan. 15 to be picked up the following week.

The trees will be ground into mulch for use later.

The trees also can be taken to any of the three county drop-off centers:

• Baltimore County Resource Recovery Facility
  Located on Drop-off Drive, off Warren Road, in Cockeysville.
  Hours: Monday - Saturday, 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.
