City of Hays
Residents are encouraged to bring real Christmas trees to the free disposal site located north of the Public Works building at 1002 Vine. This area is right next to the bathrooms at Speier ball fields. Place the trees inside the orange snow fence area.
Signs will be posted to direct citizens. Please remove all plastic, ornaments and lights before leaving the tree. The disposal site is open through Monday.
Midwest Energy will provide personnel and a wood chipper to chip the trees to make mulch. The mulch will be placed at the Parks Department on the U.S. 183 Bypass and is available for pickup free of charge.
If there are questions, call the Solid Waste Division at (785) 628-7350.
