Off-base residents must properly recycle Christmas trees

Information provided by Kaisers-lautern County Administration office

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

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

The trees will be used to make compost, so residents are asked to make sure all decorations, including tinsel, are removed.

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

JAN. 6: Bruchmühlbach, Miesau, Buchholz, Elschbach and Vogelbach.
