“Treecycle” your holiday tree |
In a few days, you will take down your holiday tree, but have you thought about what you’re going to do with it? Visit www.RecycleSpot.org for a list of locations throughout the metro area that will recycle it for little to no cost.
Chippings from recycled trees help plants and trees stay healthy, prevent erosion, stabilize lake and river banks and provide fish habitat.
“Recycling your holiday tree is easy and good for the environment,” says Matt Riggs, Outreach Coordinator for the MARC Solid Waste Management District. “In our region, they are most often turned into compost, mulch or fish habitats.”
There are approximately 25-30 million real holiday trees sold in the U.S. every year. In a national survey, 93 percent of consumers who used a real Christmas tree recycled it in some type of community program.
Following is a list of holiday tree recycling services in the metro area. If your community is not listed, call your city or trash hauler to find out if they offer this service.
