The residents of Sturgeon Bay still have a week left to get rid of their Christmas trees with the help of the city. Mike Barker, Municipal Services Director, says all trees must be placed at the intersecting streets closest to their homes to be picked up. He asks residents to remove everything from the tree before placing it on the corner of the street for pickup.
The last day of Christmas tree pickup in Sturgeon Bay is Friday, January 22. Barker notes that the trees are piled up at the compost site until spring when a large grinder comes in and grinds up the trees. The wood chips then can be used by residents for mulch in flower beds or gardens.
