Franklin County offering Christmas tree recycling

Franklin County will be accepting Christmas trees for recylcing from Dec. 26 through Jan. 17 at a single drop-off location.

Bring your Christmas tree — cleaned of all ornaments and tinsel — to the Tri-Cities Cross County Running Course, north of Pasco Golf Land on Road 36 in Pasco, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Trees will be chipped at a later date free of charge.

The wood chips will then be spread on the running path to improve the surface.

Questions? Call Franklin County Solid Waste Division at 509-545-3551.

The event is sponsored by Franklin County and the Department of Ecology.
