Company recycling Christmas trees for free

But traditionally it’s unlucky to leave Christmas decorations up after January 6, so here’s your guide to getting treeless in the nick of time.

There are a few things to remember before dumping the tree.

Second, place the stripped-down tree on the curb and NOT on the street, no matter how close you might want to put it to the actual sidewalk.

“I bring out our Christmas tree as soon as Christmas is over and I recycle here in the City of McAllen”.

Many cities and townships offer drop off sites.

Real Christmas trees can be turned into chippings for use in parks and other green spaces.

“A lot of people don’t even realize that goats are natural tree eaters”, Rideout told CBC Radio’s Corner Brook Morning.

You have to make sure there are no decorations or stands attached to the trees. Put them out for collection on your scheduled recycling collection day between Monday, January 4 and Tuesday, January 19. All trees must be placed at the front curb for free collection.

Statistics from the National Fire Protection Association show that nearly 40 percent of house fires sparked by Christmas trees happen in January.

“Recycling gives Christmas trees new life”, Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia said in a statement.

“In total previous year over 13 tonnes of old Christmas trees were picked up and taken to Chelson Meadow to be chipped”.

Residents in Exeter can also dispose of their trees through the garden waste collection service.
