Just a reminder to be sure to wrap any real holiday trees being brought through the common areas—we always carry ours in in an old sheet—and please use the back elevator, not the front one. This becomes even more important when taking a dry tree out after the holidays. And if you do shed a few pine needles, please be a good neighbor and clean up after yourself.

When it comes to getting rid of your tree after the holiday, here’s what the City says about disposal: There is no curbside collection of Christmas trees. ​ ​Drop-off at one of nine sites from December 26th through the second Saturday in January or request the scouts from Lowell BSA Troop 23 to pick it up for a fee (email: lowellwardyouth@gmail.com)

That said, the Boy Scouts haven’t yet put up any info for this year’s tree pickup (https://sites.google.com/view/lowell-youth-tree-pickup). The last time we had them pick up our tree several years back I believe the fee was $20.

Also, we have a neighbor offering up a free bed frame (see below). Please contact admin@canalplaceone.com if you’re interested and I’ll pass the word along.

Hello Neighbors,
I am giving away a FREE Queen Size Platform Bed from Jordan’s Furniture. I live next door in Canal Place 3. It’s a beautiful dark wood, and it’s in great condition. It would need to be disassembled before moving to CP1, but I can help you move it. Pictures attached. You are welcome to stop by and take a look.
—Thanks, Julie
