The Christmas tree may not even be up yet, but the city of Grapevine has plans for when it comes down — and they will take other post-holiday recyclables as well.

The Holidays Recycle Collection Event will be 8 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Jan. 5 at the Municipal Service Center, 501 Shadybrook Dr.

Drop off live trees, which will be chipped for mulch, as well as any recyclable goods that didn't make it to curbside recycling. Think wrapping paper that is tearable, and cardboard — break down boxes.

To prepare your tree, remove all ornaments and lights, and bring a plastic bag to take mulch home in.
