JOPLIN, Mo. — The City of Joplin is letting residents know how to properly dispose of natural Christmas trees at three local drop-off locations.
In a release Monday officials said residents can expect the Christmas tree drop-off locations to open December 26 through January 31.

The Joplin Recycling Center will accept many unwanted Christmas decorations this season such as gift wrapping (no metallic paper), paper boxes, bottles, cans, greeting cards, cooking oil, and even discarded Christmas lights. The Center is open Tuesday and Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. and Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
