Recycle that Christmas tree 

Broomfield will again offer seven holiday tree collection sites for residents who decorate real, cut pine trees for the holidays and want to recycle them. The sites will be open through Jan. 19, 2009, and will be marked with signs and orange fencing.  

The collection sites are intended for holiday trees only; do not leave yard waste, tree branches, or other wood products. The trees will be mulched for landscaping use, and the tree mulch will be available to residents at no charge at Bronco Park, located at Westlake Drive and Grove Circle, and the Broomfield Recycling Center, 225 Commerce St. 

The drop-off sites are:

·          Bronco Park, Westlake Drive and Grove Circle. The tree drop-off is north of the backstop.

·          Broadlands Park West, at Sheridan Boulevard and Meadow Mountain Drive.  The tree drop-off is on the west side of the parking lot.

·          Lac Amora Park, Miramonte Boulevard and Oak Circle North. The tree drop-off is west of the backstop.

·          Community Park Ball Fields, Community Park Drive and Lamar. The tree drop-off is west of George Hall Field.

·          Recycling Center, 225 Commerce St. (at Industrial Lane). The tree drop-off is west of the recycle bins.

·          Meridian Park, McKay Circle and Park Cove Way in McKay Landing. The tree drop-off is located west of the backstop.

·          The Anthem area’s site will be located at the Anthem Community Park parking lot located east of the intersection of Lowell Blvd. and Sheridan Blvd., on Sheridan. 

Make sure all ornaments, nails and any metal wire are removed to insure safety when the trees go through the mulching machines.
