It's not even Christmas yet but the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District and their partners are getting ready to accept recycled natural Christmas trees.
The annual Treecycling program offers multiple locations available 24-hours a day throughout the region.
Make sure all ornaments, lights and non-natural items are off the tree. Wire wreaths should be disposed of in your garbage.
WLSSD's Yard Waste Compost Site - just off Interstate 35 at the 27th Avenue West exit - is already open for those residents who may take down their trees before leaving for the holidays, and it will remain open through Jan. 31.

Two sites in Carlton County are open Dec, 26 to Jan. 14, including the SAPPI Fine Paper gatehouse entrance in Cloquet and the Moose Lake Compost Site across from the city garage.
