Another great opportunity to recycle and minimize the impact on your local landfill. Deliver your Christmas tree to the Central Transfer Station at 1411 S. Tower Street in Centralia and have it turned into usable mulch for the community. Please ensure all decorations are removed from the tress! You can also recycle white Styrofoam at this time. No trees or wreaths from commercial operations are accepted. Flocked, artificial and or decorated trees may not be recycled. The collection of trees will begin December 26 and continue until January 12. The hours are 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Donations gladly accepted to support WSU Lewis County Master Gardeners and WSU Lewis County Recyclers.
Join in a spirited book discussion of a selected title each month. New participants are always welcome! The January book is: “A Tale for the Time Being” by Ruth Ozeki. Copies are available at the Information Desk one month before the discussion.
