The City of Aiken will not hold its annual Christmas tree recycling program this season. City Manager Roger LeDuc said the city does not own a tree chipper and would have to rent one, so trees will not be collected for recycling at city drop-off sites. Residents may leave trees for regular Public Works pickup, and county drop-off locations, of which there are ten, will accept trees for disposal.
