Loveland, Ohio – The City’s Christmas tree collection program will begin on December 28 and will run for two weeks. Residents can call City Hall at 513-707-1439 with their location and a Public Works crew will pick-up the tree from the curb. Pick-up is not guaranteed for the same day but residents should set the tree at the curb for collection at the time they call for pick-up.
If you have broken or un-needed Christmas lights, the Loveland Sustainability Council has a solution for you. Drop off your used light strands at the UPS Store at 10663 Loveland Madeira Road. There will be a bin available through January 10.
In Miami Township, Christmas tree recycling starts on December 26th and ends on January 31st. The drop-off locations are at Miami Meadows Park at 1546 State Route 131 and Paxton Ramsey Park at 6265 Price Rd. Drop-off areas will be clearly marked at the parks. Call the Service Department at 248-3728 for more information.
