Enjoy your Christmas tree, but after the holiday, you can dispose of it properly at The Birmingham Zoo at 2630 Cahaba Road.

The city of Mountain Brook and the zoo invite residents to drop off their trees from Dec. 26 - Jan. 1 during the zoo’s normal operating hours.

The disposal site is at the site of the tree sale lot adjacent to the zoo’s construction entrance, according to a city news release.
