closeReady to get rid of your Christmas tree? Durham's Department of Solid Waste Management is on the job.
Pickup starts today and continues through Jan. 31. Trees should be placed at the curb by 7 a.m. on residents' normal household collection day.
Trees taller than 6 feet should be cut in half. Residents should also remove all decorations, including tinsel, lights, garlands and ornaments, as well as stands, nails and other hardware. Residents are also asked not to place trees in bags.
