Milford: Christmas tree pickup through January

MILFORD — The Public Works Department will pick up Christmas trees again this year. However, Mayor Benjamin G. Blake is encouraging residents to recycle their trees. Residents can bring them to the Walnut Beach or the Tri-Beach Parking Lots on Saturday, Jan. 13, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Department of Public Works will be there to chip the trees. “We’ll compost the chipped trees as use that as mulch in plantings and flower beds all over the city,” said Dept. of Public Works Director Christopher Saley. For residents who choose not to recycle their trees, DPW crews will pick up Christmas trees throughout the month of January. Uncut trees should be left at curbside. jburgeson@ctpost.com
