Sheridan provides drop sites for Christmas tree disposal

When Christmas is over and it’s time to dispose of the tree, the city of Sheridan provides several locations where that can be done.

Saliena Parker, who’s the city recycling and solid waste coordinator, explained how the city puts the trees to use.

She said the city won’t pick up any of the trees, but drop sites are located all around the city.

She said the composting is done at the municipal landfill, and the compost material is available for purchase year-round.

Natural trees can be taken to the landfill on East Ridge Road at no charge, and trees can be placed in the green waste bins at any of the city’s other drop sites.

Other drop sites in the city include the Skate Park parking area adjacent to Thorne-Rider Park off 11^th Street and Dana Avenue; the site on Highland Avenue near 5^th Street; Brundage Lane; and Oatts Memorial Park on Seventh Street at Sheridan Avenue and Saberton.
