LANSING, Mich. — Lansing and East Lansing will collect Christmas trees on Monday.
The city of Lansing will collect the trees through the week of January 14th.
Trees should be placed curbside on the same day that blue trash bags, blue trash cans, and green recycling carts are collected.
The trees should be free of plastic bags, metal, and ornaments. Trees longer than six-feet will have to be cut in half as well.
Only trees will be accepted during this time. Leaves and other yard waste materials will not be accepted.
East Lansing residents are encouraged to take advantage of extra, free, City-wide curbside recycling day on Monday.
These collection days are being offered in addition to residents' normal curbside recycling days. Residents can fill their carts with clean, accepted items and place them at the curb for collection. All items need to be placed inside the cart with lids closed.
Yard waste and bulk items are not included and all bags must weigh no more than 40 pounds.
