WLSSD

If you're still hanging on to that real Christmas tree and need a place to get rid of it - you're in luck!  There's a special event happening this Saturday (January 9) at the Superior Target location.

The presents have been opened and all of the gift-wrap has been recycled.  No matter how long you leave your Christmas tree up - sooner or later you'll need to take it down.  If it's an artificial tree - you simply return it to the box that it came out of.  But if the tree in your house is of the natural or "real" variety - you need to dispose of it.  But how and where do you do that?

The Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) is giving area residents an opportunity to clean out their medicine cabinets and properly get rid of their unwanted, expired prescriptions.  Their collection event is happening Friday, April 11 from 9AM to 5PM.  This one day event is your chance to dispose of these medications the proper way.

If you're old enough to remember Dutch Elm Disease - when the U.S. (and northland) population of Elm trees diminished in the matter of a few years - then this news will trigger flashbacks.  Officials with the City of Superior have discovered the presence of the Emerald Ash Borer within city limits.  Now, plans are being devised to battle this destructive bug.

Duluth and Surrounding areas are continuing to clean up the mess from what is called the flood of the century. WLSSD is offering special hauling services for homes that have flood damage.
