Holiday Tips

 

 

  • Keep your live tree hydrated by watering it daily
  • Don’t leave burning candles unattended
  • Check smoke alarms to ensure they are working
  • Stay in the kitchen when frying, boiling, grilling, or broiling food to prevent fires
  • Christmas trees can be placed at the curb for collection on regular garbage and recycling pickup days. They will be taken to the Dean Domingues Compost Facility to be turned into nutrient-rich compost

 

  • Common holiday plants (poinsettias, mistletoe, or pine needles) can make pets sick
  • Replace damaged lights or decorations
  • Use UL-certified lights and electrical decorations
  • Unplug decorations when you go to sleep or leave home
  • Don’t overload electrical outlets
