Christmas Tree Chipping Program opens Dec. 24 and runs through Jan. 25.Incline Village/Crystal Bay residents may drop off their Christmas tree anytime between December 24, 2011 and January 25, 2012 at Preston Field, 700 Tahoe Blvd. located off Highway 28 near Rt. 431 in Incline Village. All trees dropped off at Preston Field will be chipped and used as mulch for local erosion control projects. Residents should be aware that Christmas trees left curbside will be taken to the landfill - so please take advantage of this environmentally friendly program. This program recycles an average of 14 tons of trees, each year. Help us to recycle, and set a new record this year! Please take care to remove all ornaments, tinsel, nails, wire and other items which may cause harm to the tree chipper or operator. The chipper will not accept stumps, wreaths or yard waste and is not designed to accept cut up trees, branches or bushes – only Christmas trees.
