Discarded trees to be recycled The Perquimans, Chowan, Gates Regional Landfill plans to expand its Christmas tree dispo sal/recycling project this year. The project began in 1990 with one collection container at the Gates County Community Cen ter.0 This year collection con tainers will be available at the Gates County Community Cen ter, Missing Mill Park in Hert ford. Midway Drive near Cape Colony and the American Legion near Edenton. Containers will be available all day from Dec. 25 through Jan. 3, 1992. According to Jerry Parks. Solid Waste Director for the counties, dlsgarded trees cause several problems. The trees take up valuable space in the collec tion containers, vehicles, and the local landfill. Trees placed in the provided containers will be chipped and recycled or reused as the resulting material. Seve ral environmentally sound op tions are being investigated. These options include transport ing to one of the local paper plants for use as boiler fuel, in tegrating the chips with sand to use for daily ground cover at the landfill, and stabilizing or mulching of ditch banks for ero sion control at the landfill. Anyone who would like to have some of the mulch for their own use may have as much as they like at no cost. For the project to be suc cessful it is important that the Christmas trees only be placed in the provided containers. Con tamination with wrapping paper, boxes, or other household trash will jeopardize the entire project
