How to ditch the Christmas tree in Idaho Falls

If you live in Idaho Falls and want to take down that Christmas tree, here’s what to do with it.

2. Grandview & Foote Drive
3. Coachman & Broadway (behind car wash)
4. Pancheri (west of Eagle Rock School)
5. Fremont Avenue (by recycling bin north of Science Center)
6. Mound & W. Elva Street (Melaleuca Field parking lot)
7. N. Water & Chestnut (northeast corner)
8. W. 13th& Placer
9. 10th& Emerson
