Christmas tree recycling


By Patte Smith

The tree just went up and we are already thinking of recycling it?  Well, in the long run it is good to know where to recycle because after the holidays it is back to work, the kids off to school, getting ready for the Super Bowl, and facing the dreaded taxes.  Take heart, below is the list of close by Christmas tree recycling locations for your convenience.

When recycling, please remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, garland, plastic wrap, tree stands, wire, rope, nails, etc. before taking trees to be recycled.  Live trees with artificial snow sprayed on the branches cannot be mulched.

If you are unable to recycle your tree, most garbage service companies will pick up trees curbside.  Check with your individual HOA management companies for specifics.
