How to dispose of that Christmas tree in Cleveland County

Just as soon as Christmas arrived, it is gone. 

Time to clean up that wrapping paper, eat those turkey sandwiches and take down the Christmas trees. 

Shelby and Kings Mountain residents who get trash pickup may put their trees out to the curb. 

Be sure to: 

Keep separate from other yard debris to be picked up. 

Remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel and tree stands. 

No artificial trees should be put at the curb. 

Crews will make rounds until all trees are picked up.
