Christmas tree recycling continues through Jan. 15

Residents are reminded they can recycle their Christmas trees through Jan. 15.

The trees will be chipped and transformed into mulch that residents can get for free for their yards and gardens.

Trees may be dropped off at the Bravo Ball Field parking lot at the corner of Avenue B and Sixth Street.

They must be free of all ornaments, lights, tinsel and any other nonorganic material. According to Jill Craig, Boulder City environmental compliance coordinator, these types of objects contaminate the mulch and damage the chipper.

Flocked trees cannot be recycled.

The city hopes to recycle at least 300 trees this year.

Rolling closures for the sidewalks on the O’Callaghan-Tillman Memorial Bridge (Hoover Dam bridge) are scheduled from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily Tuesday through Jan. 16 for safety inspections by the Nevada Department of Transportation.

The routine inspections, completed biennially, will begin on the Arizona side of the bridge. When the Arizona side is closed, the Nevada portion of the sidewalk will remain open.

As the inspection moves to the Nevada side, the entire sidewalk will close.

The sidewalk will be open during off-project hours.

Additionally, lane restrictions will be in place for the duration of the project.

Decrease in tourists could affect budget

Eagle-eyed followers of city government may have noticed multiple references by city officials over the past year to expect shortfalls in the Boulder City budget over the next few years. It is a fact of life for city staff, and the big decrease in tourism to the region is poised to make the situation even more dire.
