Spohns will be out picking up Christmas trees throughout the month of January on MONDAYS only. Please do not put the trees in bags and there should be no decorations, lights, etc. on the tree when discarded. Additionally NO PLASTIC BAGS should be put out with wrapping. These bags just get blown around the neighborhood.
We thank the Village of Ilion residents for their assistance in this.
