After Santa Claus has come and the presents are unwrapped, it's time to get rid of that tree.  Luckily, the city's parks department has a "green solution;" the composting program where they will chip and mulch your tree and give it a second life.  Drop offs are by donation at the AV Muliplex north parking lot on Jan. 3 and 4 from 10 am - 4pm, with proceeds going to the Port Alberni Kidsport Chapter.
