KIRKSVILLE, MO -- Christmas has come and gone and it's time to take down the decorations.

The City of Kirksville Public Works Department is once again offering a free way for residents to dispose of their Christmas tree.

Trees may be dropped off, for free, at the city parking lot on the corner of Main and Missouri streets in downtown Kirksville.  All the city asks is that citizens remove all decorations and lighting before placing the tree in the marked area.

The program will run through January 7^th.

For more information you can contact Public Works at (660) 627-1291.
