IDAHO FALLS ~ Idaho Falls residents can now easily dispose of their Christmas trees thanks to the efforts of the City's Sanitation Division. From now until January 31st, the division has set up 13 designated drop off locations throughout the city for residents to safely discard their trees.

According to the Sanitation Division, it is important for residents to utilize these designated disposal sites as Christmas trees cannot be placed in regular household garbage due to processing requirements at the Bonneville County Transfer Station. This measure ensures that the trees are properly disposed of and recycled.

The disposal sites are intended for city residents only and cannot be used by commercial tree lots to dispose of unsold trees. To make the process easier, residents are reminded to remove all ornaments, lights, and decorations before dropping off their trees.

The designated drop off locations include the soccer fields parking lot off Old Butte Road, Washburn Avenue and Michael Street at Reinhart Park, Fremont Avenue near the recycling bin north of the Science Center, West Elva Street at Melaleuca Field parking lot, North Water Avenue and Chestnut Street in the northeast corner, West 13th Street and North Placer Avenue, 10th Street and Emerson Avenue, Tautphaus Park outdoor ice rink near the glass recycling container, Bennett Avenue and Waid Street, Sunnyside Park near Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in the southeast corner, Sykes Drive and Davidson Drive, Ashment Avenue and 12th Street, and Russet Street and Lincoln Drive.
