HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Operation Christmas Clean Up took place at Joe W. Davis Stadium.

"We want to recycle, reuse and reduce as much as we possibly can with any type of item there is out there. So, when you get rid of your Christmas tree at the end of the season, instead of it going to the landfill, you can bring it to us, we can get it chipped up, made into mulch and it'll be used on city properties," said Brian Walker, Manager of Landscape Management, Operation Green Team.
