Once Santa and his reindeer have headed home and Christmas tree needles are scattered on the floor, it’s time to toss the once fresh-smelling tree. The City of Memphis Storm Water Department wants to remind all residents to properly dispose their live Christmas trees and holiday greenery by either recycling or leaving them out for curbside pickup. Properly disposing and recycling live Christmas trees and holiday greenery keeps thousands of pounds of evergreens from being deposited into landfills.

Proper use of lawn and garden chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides, and insecticides plays an important role in protecting our area rivers, lakes, and streams according to the City of Memphis Storm Water Department.
Chemicals have a role to play in establishing and maintaining healthy lawns and gardens. When used improperly or in excess, lawn and garden chemicals can wash into storm drain inlets during rain events.
