Thanks to Audrey for sending: “I got this little tree from Ace Hardware the week of Thanksgiving and kept it up until today because it wasn’t losing needles. I kinda felt bad taking it down when it was still going strong, but my husband (logically) reminded me that it’s March.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Received this Christmas card today postmarked on 12/14/20. Reminds me of the “Last Christmas Tree in Town” series. Curious if anyone else in the community is receiving these late season holiday wishes?”
hahaha amazing, thanks to Dougie for sending: “Just when you thought you’d seen it all… I just came across a Christmas tree in NoMa that has “survived” the entire year of 2020! You can’t make this shit up”

From the Mayor’s Office:
“Today, the Bowser Administration, led by the Department of Public Works (DPW), announced that holiday trees and greenery will be collected from homes that receive DPW curbside sanitation collection between January 11 and February 5, 2021. Items collected during this period will be composted; in the spring, the mulch will be provided to residents at no cost.
“We are in the season of giving and being kind, not just to each other but to the environment as well,” said DPW Director Chris Geldart. “While DPW works to return holiday trees back to the earth, we ask residents to help us achieve our zero waste goals by also recycling other items traditionally in use this time of year.”
Here are the highlights of the 2021 collection program: (more…)
