City Of Lenoir To Offer Christmas Tree Pickup Next Week
December 31, 2020
The City of Lenoir offers lots of sanitation services for customers, including picking up Christmas trees. Residents can request many of those services on the City website, www.cityoflenoir.com.
The Sanitation Division provides weekly garbage collection, bulk and white goods pickup, yard waste collection, limbs and trimmings pickup, leaf collection, and Christmas tree pickup. The division also manages the City’s Recycling Center, located at 1121 Pennton Ave, Lenoir.
Curb-side Christmas tree pickup starts Monday (January 4). Residents are asked to place live Christmas trees behind the curb or ditch line so they don’t impede pedestrian or vehicle movement. Staff will collect trees through Friday January 8.
Editor’s note: A letter to the editor published Dec. 10 used a crude and inaccurate term to describe Susan Williams’ residence. This should have been eliminated in the editing process, but due to an oversight, was not. The Reporter apologizes to Ms. Williams for any discomfort or distress it has caused her.
Councilman’s point of view
To the Editor:
It has been about two months since the incident at the Recycling Center. I’ve remained silent and waited for the report from the independent investigator, appointed by the town, to be made available to both the Town Board and the Shelter Island Highway Benevolent Association.
