   Hello everyone,

   Tim and I live in an apartment where w/s/g is covered by the landlord. We don't have yard waste disposal. Is it possible to leave the tree out for the garbage truck and would it be charged to the landlord or is there a place we can take it for cheap/free to dispose of it properly? I grew up on the other side of the mountains where after the Christmas tree was done being in the house, we chopped up the wood and used it for various other things around the house for the next year so...after moving to the city, I'm not quite sure what to do with the tree because we can't do that anymore.

   Thank you so much for any help.

   Would your landlord agree to the charge?

   rvhthelod, Rhetorical question: Could you chop/saw up the tree and save the wood for a bonfire at Golden Gardens in one of the beach fire rings--fun and this is a good time of year because of lack of crowds! Excellent for a hotdog/tofudog roast. Happy New Year!

   I plan on dropping off our tree at the transfer station in Fremont. It is listed at the bottom of this posting from the Queen Anne View site:

   We pay for yard waste, but they didn't pick up our tree so we chopped it up and put it in the bin for next week.

   That's odd that they didn't pick up the tree, Alonzo, isn't it?

   Rose, I have no idea if the landlord would agree to the charge and it's kind of too late to ask that now as I'll be starting school and work when their office is open again so I won't be home until they're closed. I guess I could ask Tim to wake up when they're open and ask but, I'd rather him get his sleep.

   Trees, we don't have the utensils to do such a thing (though that would be so delightful!) nor do we really have the space for storing it unfortunately.

   Benton, thanks for the link. That seems like the best option for us at that moment.

   I believe it's free to take your old tree to the Fremont transfer station.

   Alonzo Neighbor - if your tree was six feet or more and a certain width, they wouldn't pick it up unless it was cut in half and wrapped with twine. Or well chopped up and put in the yard waste bin. We didn't cut ours in half and it was apparently just under the maximum size because they actually picked it up. Wasn't going to make a bet on that they would though.

   I think it needs to be in 4' or smaller chunks. Also I read that starting this week they will be picking up 1 tree free per residence. Maybe you just got yours out before that started...?

   Nah, our tree was under 4 feet tall and wide. Maybe it was so small they missed it. Anyhoo, it's in the yard waste bin now.
