Real Christmas tree are beautiful . They reek near . They look posh as hell . They are not made of credit card and import from China like most of the phony trees you may corrupt . They are not fake , which means they are well assumed to possess that most coveted trait of all , genuineness .

But they have a finite life , and after the holiday is over you ’re left with a decaying tree corpse that must be toss away of before rot and reek and needles happen everywhere . Sure , they ’re biodegradable , but if you ’re pass away to buy a Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree specifically chopped down to be ornamental , it ’s good to figure out something utilitarian to do with it rather of tossing it in with your endowment wrapper and leftover tall mallow dip .

Lots of people chuck their used trees in the trash , praying that Santa will block their waste by the time the next Clarence Day of Presents roll around , but it does n’t have to be that elbow room . There are a few right options for recycling your tree .

Most cities propose programs that will turn your de - tinseled tree into mulch . In New York for instance , the MulchFest programlets you throw off your no - long - wanted tree off at a crowd of different locations throughout the city at the commencement of January . There are also certain domain that will cut off your Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree and give you a bag of mulch to take dwelling house , and a curbside aggregation programme if you ’re too lazy to lug your dying tree diagram around ( you will have to take the tinsel off first ) .

Chicago , LA , Atlanta , and other major cities volunteer similar mulching and chipping program . In rural area , people are more potential to own their own chippers , to make DIY mulching easier . Unless you live in a coastal area , this is the best option for recycling your tree . Do it ! ! ! !

Old Christmas tree diagram are a valuable imagination on the coasts . In Louisiana , people can put out their tree diagram for curbside cartridge and theyare dropped in fence areason the coast to prevent erosion . The trees help contain saltwater from seeping in and reverse into deposit . This stops the coasts from getting eaten by the ocean .

The Louisiana National Guardhelps order the treesin Jefferson Parish , an field south of New Orleans . Over 60,000 Tree are placed as natural barricade every year . In New Jersey , old Christmas treesto help prevent erosion on moxie dunes . The trees are laid on top of the dunes to minimize damage from winter winds .

A internet site I witness called“How and Where to Recycle or Dispose Your Christmas Tree”has been an priceless resource in writing this article . But it gives some dubious advice , advocating for order fresh orangish slices and popcorn on your tree and turning it into a freestanding doll birdfeeder until it is brittle enough to break apart by hand . I do not advocate this approach , because it is a waste material of tasty orangish piece and it sounds too complicated , and also sound like you will be break aside an erstwhile tree covered in bird shit .

Still , it ’s an pick . Merry Christmas !
