SUMMARY: Mississippi Power has partnered with Harrison County to launch its annual Christmas tree recycling program, running from today until January 12th. Five convenient drop-off locations are available throughout Harrison County for residents to recycle their live Christmas trees. The trees must be free of decorations and cannot be flocked. The recycled trees will be transformed into mulch for parks and flower beds, supporting environmental stewardship. This program, which has been ongoing for several years, aims to provide a safe disposal option while enhancing local green spaces. Residents are encouraged to recycle their trees promptly to prevent fire hazards.

Gifts are now unwrapped and decorations are all boxed up — but where do we throw out our Christmas trees? Kaila Moran Griffith answers.

SUMMARY: After nearly three years at Good Morning Mississippi, I am stepping down, with my last day being January 31. While this decision was difficult, I feel it’s time for a new chapter in my life, especially considering my family’s sacrifices. I’m grateful for my supportive coworkers and the amazing bond we’ve shared, as well as for the viewers who welcomed me into their mornings. Although it’s not really goodbye, as I’ll be sharing my next steps on social media, I’m excited about this leap of faith. Thank you for all the memories and kindness throughout my journey.

All week Jaimee Dorris will recount her favorite memories at WLOX.
