Landfill accepting Christmas trees for free this month

Finally, a place to divest yourself of that rotting tree-corpse!

The landfill is accepting Christmas trees for free through the month of January.

A City and Borough of Juneau press release said that they will be offering this service for free in conjunction with Waste Management. Trees must be no wider than six inches at the base and must not be decorated. Businesses are not eligible. The landfill is located at 5600 Tonsgard Court, and signs will direct you to the dropoff location.

For more information, contact RecycleWorks operations manager Stuart Ashton at 907-586-5225.
