MANHATTAN, IL — Manhattan residents can kick their Christmas trees and wreaths to the curb the first two weeks of January.

Waste Management will pick up the trees on normal trash pickup days. Residents should remove all tinsel, lights and ornaments. Trees larger than six feet should be cut into sections no longer than four feet, Waste Management advises.

Leave your tree at the curb the night before your scheduled pickup.
