THE TOSSIN' OF THE GREEN. Piling up Christmas trees at the former Merry Mulch location in Carson Park. Trees are now collected at the Jeffers Road Green Waste facility.

Are you procrastinating about taking down your Christmas tree? Or are you wondering what to do with all those branches that fell during the recent winter storm? You’re in luck: The City of Eau Claire’s Green Waste Facility will be open through Tuesday, Jan. 31, as part of the annual Merry Mulch tree recycling program.
