Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative will accept evergreen Christmas trees, wreaths, and garland at its technical center at 5399 Wellington Branch Road, Gainesville, VA 20155, near I-66 from Dec. 26 to Jan. 12. Customers may leave greenery in the front parking lot in the area designated by orange safety cones. Greens must be free of all decorations, metal ornament hooks, and light strings.

“Most people agree that it’s more fun to put up and decorate a Christmas tree than to take one down,” says Junior Martin, of NOVEC’s right-of-way department. “But cut trees and greens need to go before they become so dry that they become a fire hazard.”


A driver hit a post inside the Potomac Mills Festival shopping center in Woodbridge.

The hit and run crash happened Monday night, according to Sarah Wyatt, who posted a photo of the damaged pillar to her Facebook page.
