Happy New Year, Kansas Citians. To start the year off on the right foot, we need a little help from you.

Every morning, more than 75,000 of you welcome us into your inbox. And each day, we do our very best to provide you with timely, relevant information so you can get the most out of the city we call home.

We’re asking you to take two minutes to tell us a little more about yourself because the more we know about who you are, the better we can deliver information that you care about. Just two minutes. Feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer. We don’t want to pry. (Okay, we do, but for a good reason.)

We’ll be selecting one lucky survey participant to win $500. We’re rooting for you, KC.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

— Charmaine + Madison

Recycling your Christmas tree in Kansas City

Sure, the holidays are all fun and games — but if you celebrate Christmas, you know that sooner or later you have to deal with that “Night of the Living Dead” tree in the corner. That doesn’t mean it’s dumpster-bound. Instead, we have some tips on how to put an old tree to good use.

Drop-off recycling

Maybe you just can’t wait for curbside pickup. Drop the tree off yourself at yard waste drop-offs and organic recycling centers across the metro.

In KCMO, drop off your tree for $5 with proof of residency (free on Saturdays), from Saturday, Jan. 6-Saturday, Jan.13, at Missouri Organic Recycling:

11660 N. Main St.
1815 N. Chouteau Tfwy.
10301 Raytown Rd.

Residents in any county can drop off their trees for free in Johnson County through Wednesday, Jan. 31 at:

The Theatre in the Park
Heritage Park
Kill Creek Park
Big Bull Creek Park

From the editor

I’m naturally suspicious of New Years Resolutions — like everybody else, I wind up with a gym subscription I stop using by March.

This year I’m setting myself up for success by choosing something I actually want to do: try a new spot each day of KC Restaurant Week. I have five days filled so far, featuring Mesob, Blue Sushi Sake Grill, District Biskuits, Smoke-N-Seoul BBQ at Transport Brewery + The Prospect KC’s The Spot.
