What to do with your live Christmas tree
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Dec. 25 has come and gone for 2021, and now it’s time to think about what to do with your live Christmas trees.
You can dispose of your live Christmas tree at one of the eight drop-off locations from Dec. 25 to Jan. 31 from dawn until dusk.
