O Tannenbaum, How Can Reading Residents Get Rid Of You?

What was once beautiful and alive is today a dried-out fire hazard. So what's a Reading resident to do with your Christmas Tree?

The town is providing two options for the recycling of trees.

The first is the compost center, which will be open on Saturday, Jan. 12 from 8 to 2:30 p.m. If you still got a few stuffed leaf bags hanging around the house, you can bring them along with branches to the compost center. Remember to get yourself one last Christmas gift, a new 2019 Compost sticker.

If you're not a compost person, then Christmas trees will be picked up curbside on your regular rubbish collection day the week of Jan. 7-11. All decorations, including tinsel, must be removed from the trees.
