This weekend marks our first adventure in recycling the Christmas tree. I'm slightly embarrassed to say this is the first year it has crossed our minds to do so. We weren't even being lazy about it in previous years, just never thought about it.
To find a recycling center nearest you, visit Earth911.org. The site notes, "More than 35 Christmas tree varieties can be recycled into chippings (used for everything from mulch to hiking trails), beachfront erosion prevention, shoreline stabilization, fish habitat and sedimentation management."
This morning I also have found, for those of you in Chicago, on Saturday, January 12th, from 9am to 2pm, the City will be offering a gift or mulch in exchange for a Christmas Tree.
