Christmas Tree Recycling
The Christmas party is over and all the guests have
gone back to their homes. Now is the time for packing up all the
decorations, including lights and ornaments. The most important question
that comes to mind is regarding the Christmas tree and its removal.
Whether to put it in the garage or throw it in the garbage bins? The
best thing is to go in for recycling of the Christmas tree. Many cities
and counties provide Christmas tree recycling services. However, if you
don't have any such option, do not worry. You can try recycling the
Christmas tree on your own. Just follow any of the ideas and tips for
Christmas tree disposal given below.
- You can make a bird shelter out of your Christmas tree. Keep the
Christmas tree in its stand and place it outdoor. The birds will get
a safe haven, which will provide them protection from wind and cold.
- Trim off the branches from the tree and place them over the
garden beds, in order to reduce the frost heaving caused by freezing
and thawing. The trunk of the tree can be used for making homemade
trellises or tomato stakes.
- You can also use the Christmas tree to make sand and soil erosion
barriers, especially at a beach or on a riverbed.
- You can throw your Christmas tree into a pond or stream; it will
make a great habitat for the fish.
- The branches of a Christmas tree can be removed, chipped and used
as mulch in the garden.
- Never ever burn your Christmas tree in a fireplace or wood stove.
It may contribute to creosote buildup.
