Lake Havasu City Maintenance Services will accept discarded Christmas trees from residents beginning Friday through Jan. 12.

One drop-off location will be provided in the city lot across from the Aquatic Center located at 100 Park Ave. The trees will be composted into mulch and used as organic cover throughout city parks. Residents may help themselves to the mulch free of charge.

Christmas trees must remain whole and free of ornaments, lighting, tinsel, etc. Please do not bring any other trash such as yard trimmings, artificial Christmas trees, appliances, household items, etc.

For information, call the Maintenance Services Division at 928-855-3377.

The entrance for the Christmas Tree Drop Off is located near the Aquatic Center. Jillian Danielson/RiverScene
