With the holidays coming to a close, what to do with those beautifully decorated Christmas trees and pine boughs? Recycle them.
Please bring your real trees — absent of ornaments and other decoratives — and pine boughs to the Archuleta County Fairgrounds where they will be used as fuel for the upcoming WinterFest Bonfire that will be held on Jan. 17.
There already is a pile of trees and signage indicating where to drop off your trees. Please do not drop off fake or “manufactured” trees or any other materials. The drop off is close to the U.S. 84 entrance, so access, drop-off and exiting the Fairground should be very simple, even in the snow, as the access area will be plowed.
We hope that we will collect a large number of real trees this year to make the WinterFest Bonfire even bigger than last year.
This is the only location in the community accepting trees to be recycled. Questions can be directed to the Chamber at (970) 264-2360.
