Thanks Patch. Dummy me I was actually looking at the BC website (http://www.baltimorecountymd.gov/News/holiday_winter/treecollection.html) and didn't realize it hadn't been updated since 2010. My tree has been outside for a couple of days now.

What a waste!
Seems to me like the best sort of recycling would be to buy a live tree and then plant it in your garden.when the holidays are over...

M yes it seems sad for the trees but unless you have a farm no one has room for years and years worth of trees. The good thing with the reycling program is that you can come back in the spring and get the mulch for free!

Jan 14-19 is not two weeks! Am I missing something?

Sam,
The release reads that the collection will take place over a two-week period but to ensure collection, trees should be out no later than Jan. 19.

If we are going to kill a perfectly good tree -- must we be so eager to throw it away right after Christmas? January 14th as a start is reasonable but the 19th as an end date is too early. Hey, if you can put up Christmas decorations on November 1st, I can leave some of mind up until February 1st when it's cold and snowy out and the natural tree might still be nice looking and not shedding too much.
I've seen a lot of people who make Valentine's Trees and when I was in New Orleans I saw people had Mardi Gras Trees..basically changing the decorations in both cases on their Christmas trees. What you do is of course up to you but perhaps we should have periodic tree/natural recycling year round...

Gregg, the longer it is up, the more of a fire hazard it becomes.

This place is awesome. Used it a lot when my kid was 2-3. If I had another, I'd not hesitate to takeRead More him here. Then again, I watched my kid like a hawk - and you know, actually played WITH him - while we were there. As a result, my kid never came close to being injured by another unruly kid. Just saying.
Gregg Roberts April 25, 2013 at 06:55 am
My sister-in-law actually played with my nephew too Tim. Unlike EVERY OTHER single parent that wasRead More there. However, you can't tie your child to you. They came there to play. Bullies move very quick. When my nephew fell and was visibily scared, not a single parent except for one even noticed. Nobody from the library was in site. You are right that if parents were required to pay attention to their children then there would not be an opportunities for bullies because the parents of those bullies would be watching them also. When the group came from a religious school in Pikesville this is exactly what happened. All the parents stayed with their kids. All other parents, with little exception stayed in a waiting room talking amongst themselves paying little attention to their children. My nephew has been to all kinds of playgrounds and never been attacked by older kids before. Next time, if my nephew is attacked by an older child I will urge my brother to call the police and press charges against the parent. However, irreponsible Storyville need not worry -- won't be back there. Just wish our tax dollars weren't supporting this.
Gregg Roberts April 25, 2013 at 07:09 am
Let me put this in more practical terms. 1. My sister-in-law suggests that the bully seemed about 8Read More years old and probably shouldn't have been left at Storyville to begin with. There is no ID system at Storyville for childs age. 2. The bully caused various kinds of mayhem. Knocking down things, shouting, etc. No one from the library is actually in Storyville so there was no disciplinary action taken such as removing the child. 3. Parents should not view Storyville as a babysitter and not be allowed to congregate in the waiting area, leaving their children to play alone. 4. Items that could be used to cause serious injury should be removed from Storyville. 5. Cameras. If an 8 year old hits a 3 year old at Storyville where parents are suppose to be watching their children, I want proof for a court case. Yes, it's a shame it can't just be a pleasant place to take your kids but it isn't. It is filled with unrully children and uninterested parents. A child SHOULD NEVER leave a library with two bruises across his face EVER.
