Chapel Hill will pick up Christmas trees and wreaths for mulching during regular yard waste collection.

Decorations, tinsel and wire must be removed from trees and wreaths before being placed at the curb with other yard waste. Apartment complex residents should place trees in areas designated by property managers.

The Town of Cary will begin pickup of Christmas trees and vegetative material such as wreaths and garland as a part of regular curbside yard waste collection on Jan. 3.
