Just In Case...

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas weekend. It doesn't feel like it's over with kids still home from school and hopefully people on vacation through the New Year, but in case you're already considering taking down the tree, LaVergne gives you options for disposing of live trees:

La Vergne residents who want to dispose of their “live” Christmas tree after the holiday season, are welcome to bring them to a specially roped off parking lot next to the La Vergne Public Works Department, according to La Vergne Public Works Director Bob Burns. The lot will be open through Jan. 31, and trees may be brought to the lot at anytime.

The Public Works Department chips the trees into mulch. The trees must be cleared of all ornaments, tinsel, garland and lights prior to being dropped off. The Public Works Department is located at 148 International Blvd., off Waldron Road. For more information, call 793-9891.
