GOSHEN, Ind. -- The Goshen Street Department began its annual Christmas tree collection service on Tuesday.

Goshen residents can leave their trees out by the curb for pickup through Feb. 3.

City officials ask that residents leave their trees by the curb without lights, decorations or stands.

Artificial trees are not accepted as a part of the service.

All trees will be taken to the Goshen Environmental Center after being chipped for composting.

The street department will collect trees depending on the weather.
