Once again, the city of Hermiston will provide a place to drop off and recyle your Christmas tree.

Residents will have until Jan. 29 to drop off their trees near south parking lot at Butte Park. Larry Fetter, director of the Hermiston Parks and Rec Department, said the city collects between 300-500 trees each year. Once the trees are collected, the city chops them up into mulch and uses it for weed control within the city’s parks system.

For more information, call the parks department at 541-667-5018.
