Live Christmas Tree Safety & Disposal
The City of Bryan’s Public Works and Fire Departments have a few reminders when it comes to your Christmas trees.
Safety
Decorating your Christmas tree is always a lot of fun each year. If you like having a live tree, be sure to keep the following tips in mind to prevent a possible fire hazard.
- Before placing the tree in water, cut 2 inches off of the trunk.
- Ensure a constant supply of water in the stand. A dry tree can burn very quickly, leaving little time to escape
- Keep any type of heat source, including candles, away from the tree.
- If you decorate the tree with lights, make sure they are UL-listed.
Disposal
Once you’re ready to dispose of the tree, remove all of the decorations along with the metal/plastic stands and place it at the curb on your regularly scheduled brush and bulky day. Bryan Public Works will dispose of it for you at no charge.
