I hate to be the spoilsport but we all know those Christmas Trees don’t last forever. Heck, most of them were cut down long before Christmas and by now they’re pretty well drying out. Maybe another week left in them but that’s about all.
What do you do to get rid of the once live Christmas Tree? If you’re living in Anne Arundel County Maryland, its pretty easy to recycle. After you un-decorate the tree, all you need to do is to put it out with the other recycling. If its too big (over four feet) you should cut it in half so the recyclers can get it in the truck. Recycled Christmas Trees are made into mulch by the county.
While you’re at it, a lot of other Christmas waste can be recycled as well. Wrapping paper, catalogues, cardboard boxes, etc.
