The Item
The city of Sumter will begin picking up Christmas trees on Thursday and transporting them to Dillon Park for the annual Grinding of the Greens. Trees will be picked up from city residents’ curbs through Thursday, Jan. 9. County residents can take their trees to any of the Sumter County recycling centers.
Public works officials advise that only real trees will be accepted, and they should have all ornaments, lights and tinsel removed.
On Saturday, Jan. 11, the trees will be ground into mulch, and from 7 until 10 a.m. that day, residents can take their trucks and containers to the park to get all the free mulch they can carry for use in their gardens and landscaping.
