Once the storm has past be sure your Christmas tree is not covered in the snow to insure it will be collected. Waste Management will allow Christmas trees to be dropped off at their Newport transfer station at no cost with a photo ID & utility bill.

To help with snow removal, please be sure to pull your trash and recycling carts away from the side of the road while crews continue to push back the snow.
