If you have a real tree in your house this year — and you’re a Champaign resident —, put January 11th on your calendar. That is the day to put that tree out on your curb by 6 a.m. for pick up. Here is what you need to know:
- Collected trees are chipped and made into garden mulch.
- Trees with stands, decorations, tinsel, lights, artificial snow/frost, plastic bags, or any other materials that make the trees non-recyclable will not be collected
If you miss it, you can take your tree to the Landscape Recycling Center in Urbana throughout the months of January and February.
