EARTH ANGEL

The Hot Springs Solid Waste Department reminds residents to recycle their non-artificial Christmas trees and provides several methods for doing so.

The trees must be free of tinsel, ornaments and lights before recycling.

Trees can be cut into 3-foot lengths or less and placed curbside for free collection on regular recycling days.

Solid Waste customers who don’t want to cut their trees can call the Clean, Attractive Property Services, or C.A.P.S., program at 501321-6921 to schedule a pickup.

The trees can also be brought to the Solid Waste Department Drop-Off Center at the corner of Valley and Runyon streets.
