Matt Brandt of Durango tosses his Christmas tree – or Hanukkah bush as his family calls it, because his mother is Catholic and his father is Jewish – on Thursday at the city of Durango’s drop-off location at Santa Rita Park, 149 South Camino del Rio. Christmas tree recycling is available through Jan. 31. Natural trees must be free of ornaments, tinsel, bases, and metal screws and nails. (Shane Benjamin/Durango Herald)
