Off-base residents must know proper way to recycle Christmas trees

The waste management office of the Kaiserslautern County Administration asks KMC residents to properly recycle their Christmas trees.

Residents can drop off the trees at the official collecting places for green waste in their villages or they can place their Christmas trees by 6 a.m. on pick-up days in front of their house towards the edge of the road.

The trees will be used to make compost, so residents are asked to make sure all decorations including tinsel are removed. Trees that still have some decorations won’t get picked up.

The following is a list of pick-up dates for Christmas trees:

• Jan. 11: Bruchmuehlbach, Miesau, Buchholz, Elschbach and Vogelbach.
