Treecycling is the process of recycling your Christmas tree to ensure that your tree is used to help the environment after the holiday season. Recycling your Christmas tree can be done at home or in your community.

Ideas for Recycling at Home

• You can turn your old Christmas tree into a bird feeder and bird sanctuary for the winter months by placing fresh fruit, stringed popcorn, or last nights leftovers into the tree to be enjoyed from indoors. The tree will shelter the birds from the winter conditions and in the Spring be brittle enough to breakdown into mulch for in the yard and garden.
• Christmas trees offer a shelter for fish and feeding area for other aquatic life.
• Christmas trees can be used to prevent the erosion of beaches, lakes and river shorelines. The trees contribute to the stabilization of fish and wildlife habitats.

Local recycling methods

Christmas tree recycling programs vary depending where you live. Most curbside pickups occur two weeks following Christmas. Contact your local recycling center to find out about dates and local programs that support the recycling of Christmas trees.

Going green is not something you can just say, you must live it every day and pass on your knowledge to others
