Please remember to recycle the Christmas tree! Recycling the tree helps return a renewable resource back to the environment and is easy to do. West Sacramento residents can choose among three ways for recycling their trees:

• Cut the tree into sections small enough to fit inside your waste cart (about 3-foot sections). Place the sections either inside or bundled next to the yard waste cart and it will be picked up on your regular service day;
• Tale the tree to Whitey's Jolly Kone, 1300 Jefferson Blvd., on Saturday, Jan. 7 for a drop-off event to benefit West Sacramento Cub Scout Pack 49. Trees will be accepted 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Donations are accepted to benefit Pack 49; or
• Take the tree to the Yolo County Landfill for free drop-off. Location: 44090 County Rd. 28H. Hours: Monday-Saturday, 6:30 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Please call (530) 666-8729 or visit the website for more information and directions, http://www.yolocounty.org/index.aspx?page=443 .
