What goes up must come down. That same philosophy can be applied to the yearly Christmas tree after the holidays come and go.
Area cities offer residents convenient ways to dispose of them.
Killeen
The City of Killeen will hold its annual Christmas Tree Recycling event from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Jan. 5 at the Killeen Special Events Center, 3301 S. W. S. Young Drive.
The city offers the recycling option as an alternative to sending trees to landfills.
Decorations including tinsel, ornaments and lights must be removed. Trees will be chipped, shredded and offered back as landscaping mulch.

Trees will be collected for no additional fees.
