Carlton County residents are encouraged to recycle their fresh-cut Christmas trees during Treecycling, a free program with drop-off locations throughout the region. Christmas trees, like yard waste, are banned from landfills in Minnesota. Dispose of your trees properly by bringing them to a conveniently located Treecycling site.

Please remove all ornaments, lights, tree stands and tree bags before bringing trees to one of the following Treecycling locations.

• SAPPI Fine Paper (gatehouse entrance) East End Ave. B, Cloquet, Dec. 22-Jan. 14

• Moose Lake Compost Site (across from City garage) Moose Lake, through Jan. 14

Area residents with questions about the program may call Karola Dalen, Carlton County Resource and Recycling Coordinator at (218) 384-9178 or email: [email protected]. Dalen offered thanks to the City of Moose Lake, Cloquet Sanitary Service, SAPPI Fine Paper and WLSSD.
