Requirements for tree disposal are as follows:
*         Trees taller than six feet should be cut in half.
*         Remove all decorations and hardware, including tinsel, lights, garland, ornaments, nails, and stands.
*         Do not place trees in bags.

The department has also extended free drop-off of trees until Saturday, February 13 at the City's Waste Disposal and Recycling Center<http://durhamnc.gov/878/Waste-Disposal-Recycling-Center>, located at 2115 E.
