Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative will accept evergreen Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland at its technical center at 5399 Wellington Branch Road, Gainesville, VA 20155, near I-66 from Dec. 26 to Jan. 12. Customers may leave greenery in the front parking lot in the area designated by orange safety cones. Greens must be free of all decorations, metal ornament hooks, and light strings.
"Most people agree that it's more fun to put up and decorate a Christmas tree than to take one down," says Junior Martin, of NOVEC's right-of-way department. "But cut trees and greens need to go before they become so dry that they become a fire hazard."
NOVEC tree crews will chop the greens into wood chips. They will deliver the wood-chip mulch to interested Co-op members at no charge when right-of-way crews are working in nearby neighborhoods. Members interested in free wood-chip mulch should complete the request form at www.novec.com under Customer Services, then Products and Other Services. For more information about obtaining mulch or recycling holiday greens, contact NOVEC's right-of-way department at 703-335-0500 or 1-888-335-0500, extension 1633 or 1661, or via e-mail: [email protected].
