Recycle Your Christmas Tree – The How & Where

Did you decorate a real tree this Christmas?  Now that the holidays are over you'll be looking to dispose of that tree, but don't just trash it or dumb it on some back road.  Why not recycling it?

The Christmas Tree Association provides tips for recycling that post-holiday tree:

Curbside pick-up.   In Traverse City the Parks Department offers a drop off point for christmas trees, typically at the boat launch at Hull Park.  The trees are chipped and use for trail and park resurfacing.

Turn it into mulch.  If you or a neighbor have a chipper, turn that tree into mulch for your garden!  Some communities may offer a chipping service for residents specifically to recycle Christmas trees into mulch

Wildlife Feeders and Habitats.  That old Christmas tree can make a great feeder for nearby wildlife.  Sink it in a pong to create a refuge for fish.  If you enjoy local bird lift string that tree with popcorn, fruits, or suet to attract backyard birds.
