TAMPA, Fla. — Some would love to keep the Christmas tree up all year long, but others say it's time to get rid of it.
Here's what to do with your live Christmas tree across the bay area. It's better to get rid of it sooner rather than later, as fire officials warn drying trees are more of a fire hazard.
You can put the tree out with your trash on yard waste collection days. It must be cut into four-foot sections.
You can also drop them off at any three of the yard waste processing facilities.
- 346 Falkenburg Road in Tampa
- 13000 U.S. Highway 41 in Gibsonton
- 8001 W. Linebaugh Ave. in Tampa
