Jasper and Huntingburg are picking up live, discarded Christmas trees.  The Jasper Street Department is picking them up now curbside. Residents are asked to take everything off of the trees before moving them to the curb.

Huntingburg Street Superintendent Rich Thyen says that his department will begin picking up the trees on Tuesday, January 3, through Jan. 20.  Residents don’t need to call for pickup, just place them curbside.

Huntingburg Police are investigating a theft from a local business.

Sometime Monday afternoon, someone stole several 70 pound brake drums from the back of Perkins Specialized Transport.

The business told police the thieves would want to scrap them.

Anyone with information should call the Huntingburg Police at 812-683-4111.
