A man recently called Facilities Management at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods to inquire about the Sisters of Providence annual Christmas tree recycling program. Instead of dropping off a tree to be recycled into heating fuel or mulch, he wanted to know if he could have a few of the trees.
Thinking the request was a little unusual, Sister Rose Ann Eaton, associate director, said probably, but she was curious about the intended use.
The caller said his daughter plans to be married soon and wanted real trees to use as a decorative back drop for her ceremony. Sister Rose Ann agreed. The caller even wanted to know if he could return the trees so they could be recycled ... again ... for their regularly intended re-use. So, some discarded Christmas trees might be recycled two different ways!
If you have Christmas trees that you want to be rid of, bring them to Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and drop them off near the horse barns. Trees will be accepted through Jan. 5.
