For those with a real Christmas tree, figuring out what to do with it after the holidays can be as easy as placing it curbside for recycling.
Taking down the Christmas tree is only one task after the holiday season. For those with a real tree, figuring out what to do with it can be as easy as placing it by the curb.Discarded Christmas trees can be picked up curbside for recycling through regular trash collection services in various cities. The trees are often shredded for use as compost or mulch that is offered back to residents and non-profit groups free of charge for gardening and landscaping.
In parts of Louisiana, for example, Christmas trees are used to shore up coastal areas hit by erosion and to rebuild wetlands. In Jefferson Parish alone, about 5,000 trees are collected each year for such efforts. Or, there's no place like home. Discarded trees can get their final resting place in a corner of the backyard as a shelter and feeding area for birds.
Some websites offer a way to search for local tree recycling programs. Home Depot stores in select areas also hold tree collection events.
