City recycling live trees now through Feb. 3.
Why not scatter the live Christmas tree around the yard this year instead of pitching it on the tree lawn? The city is offering a free live Christmas tree recycling program now until Feb. 3. Those interested can take the tree down to the Parks and Recreation Department , located at 5070 Stow Rd., near the location for brush drop-off , and have it chipped instead of trashed. Trees should be void of all bags, ornaments, garland and tinsel, said Linda Nahrstedt, a spokesperson at City Hall . City crews will take the pine trees have them chipped into mulch by a contractor in 2013. The mulch will be available to Stow residents for free on a first-come, first-serve basis, said Nahrstedt.

The program is for Stow residents only, and residents can take as much mulch as they want with one caveat. "It has to be loaded by hand," Nahrstedt previously said. "No equipment." The city offers this program…

With the early spring this year, officials say the trees can't be replanted until the fall.
Sixty-four Ash trees have already been cut down by city employees for being infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) and the plan is to cut down another 78 trees by the fall. Service Director Mike Miller also said that because Stow had such an early spring, the city won't be able to replant any trees until the fall. So far, all 63 Ash trees at the city's campground have been cut down and chipped and one more tree on Peterboro Drive was taken down, said Stow Arborist Sue Mottl. Because the city and parks departments keep finding the bug in the trees, Miller said the plan to treat any of the trees with insecticides has been extinguished, they must be cut. As the trees are being identified as being infested with Emerald Ash Borer, they are …
