Residents will also be able to dispose of their trees at the Public Works Yard at 700 N. Upshaw from Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Corpus Christi Christmas tree lovers will also have an ongoing opportunity to get dispose of their holiday decorations. The city is asking residents to give their real Christmas trees "a new lease on life" by recycling it into mulch through the end of January.
