Some people like to prolong the Christmas season as long as possible. We had a discarded Christmas tree make an appearance in the side lot this week. Markwood would like to remind tenants that all Christmas trees should be disposed of before the city-wide Christmas tree pick-up, which is generally the first week of January.
We had a large collection of about 6 trees sitting out by the dumpster after Christmas. (By the way, everyone did a great job of not putting their tree into the dumpster this year, thank you!) Markwood paid maintenance to come and dispose of the trees, since we were too late putting them out by the curb for city pick-up. With this late addition, rather than having it taken all at once with the other trees, now Markwood has to pay maintenance to come again and dispose of this one tree. Hopefullly next year, everyone will be on board with getting rid of their tree in a timely fashion.
Another more interesting alternative is to take your tree to Dead Horse Beach here in Salem for the annual Christmas Tree Bonfire. Which is fun, impressive, and gives your tree the Viking funeral it really deserves.
