Christmas Trees

Nothing is quite as depressing as a dead, sad looking Christmas tree at the start of the new year -- except one that then takes up space in a landfill. Many people are under the impression that because trees are natural they break down conveniently and rejoin the earth. Sadly, this is not true.

Type in your zip code at the National Christmas Tree Association to find the recycling program nearest you.
