That sounds like fun! Ann Arbor used to pick them up from the curb, but I'm not sure if one has to go to the drop-off station this year. (I use my Norfolk Island pine as my tree, so I'm a bit oblivious on that point.) Also, did you see this video about a city in Oregon donating Xmas trees to goats? It's cool!
How cool is that! Wish we had that here...
