News Release
The following is a news release from the City of Idaho Falls:
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — The City of Idaho Falls Sanitation Division is helping residents wrap up the holiday season by offering convenient Christmas tree disposal options throughout the city through Jan. 31.
Because of processing requirements at the Bonneville County Transfer Station, Christmas trees cannot be placed in regular household garbage. To make disposal easier, the Sanitation Division has established 13 designated drop off locations across Idaho Falls where residents can safely discard their trees.
The disposal sites are intended for city residents only and may not be used by commercial tree lots to dispose of unsold trees. Residents are reminded to remove all ornaments, lights and decorations before dropping off their trees.
Christmas tree disposal locations:
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 the 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
