IRONWOOD - It will soon be time to decide what to do with the living Christmas tree.

 In Ironwood, you can contact the Department of Public Works (DPW) or check their official Facebook page for announcements about Christmas tree collection in early January. They often set up temporary drop-off sites (like at Hull Park or a compost facility) or offer curbside pickup. Also, the Norrie Club usually will usually take trees and wreaths for their Light The Night Celebration in the early part of January. Keep track of when that will be scheduled on the Norrie Club’s social media.
