• You can’t put the tree in your regular trash, but you can arrange a special pick up with your trash hauler. Check to make sure they will take it to a compost site.
• On January 11 or 12, take it to the FREE Ramsey County Yard Waste Site at 1943 Pierce Butler Route or 1150 Sims Ave. in St. Paul. Hours are 9:00 to 5:00 on Saturday and 11:00 to 5:00 on Sunday. Sorry no wreaths or items that have wire, etc.
• Take it to the Central Wood Products disposal site at 630 Malcolm Ave. in Minneapolis (just off 280 and University Ave.) 612-331-4610. They're open during the week, and you'll pay a fee to dispose of it there.
