What Do I Do With My Christmas Tree After the Holidays?

I do a lot of driving on top of living in the country and every year after the Christmas holiday, I see old Christmas trees laying in random places rather than being properly disposed of.

People get pretty resourceful in attempting to dispose of their Christmas trees but if you do a little homework now, you will know exactly what to do with your old tree. I wouldn't try putting them in your trash can like in the photo above.

Recycling your tree is the best bet and you may be surprised at how many area facilities offer the service. It is really simple to Google "Recycle Christmas Tree In My County (insert the name of the county you are a resident of) and plenty of solutions will pop up. You will have to double-check who may be recycling old Christmas lights since they are not biodegradable.

Kentwood Residents Can Recycle Christmas Trees and Lights At Special Event
