As delightful as it is to pick out a Christmas tree, it is a lot less exhilarating to find out what to do with it as soon as the holiday is over. Between all the clean-up & exertion to get the Christmas tree out of your home, it can be a big mess to eventually be done with it. Fortunately, there are several ways to dispose of your Christmas tree once the holiday season is over.
Leave your Christmas tree on the curb:
Many cities & counties do have a Christmas tree recycling service with curbside pickup. In this event, the trees are generally taken to a chipper to slash them into tiny pieces to be used as mulch. Feel free to check out with your local department of public works for availability & collection schedules.
Donate it:
Yes, you can donate your Christmas tree once the festive season is over. Just because the tree is dry does not mean someone else, or a goat cannot benefit from the tree. If you are seeking a unique way to dispose of your Christmas tree, goats do love to snack on pine trees. A lot of small-sized, local farms will happily accept unadorned trees for goats to munch on. Also some zoos will take trees to use as treats or playthings for animals.
Third-party tree pick up service:
Some non-profits & other organizations in your town collect Christmas trees at the conclusion of the holiday season. Use Google to find authentic Christmas tree collection service in your town.
Compost it:
If your city doesn’t chip trees for reuse, think about taking it to a local compost site. Composting is a more sustainable option than sending a pine tree to a landfill. Composting is an excellent way to dispose of your Christmas tree & extend its use. The branches from your tree make an excellent base for a compost pile.
Yard waste collection service:
If your city does not provide a Christmas tree recycling services & you are having a tough time having a disposal option, trees can be discarded, and they’ll ultimately break down. Either cut your trees to fit in your waste container to be removed on your usual trash day, or check with your local dumpster rental company in Omaha to find out if your trees can be added to your roll off dumpster. Some dumpster rental companies will take flocked trees.
