Christmas Tree Recycling in College Station

Christmas Tree Recycling in College StationI know Christmas was only two days ago, but what do you do with the Christmas tree once you take it down?  Since Christmas trees burn too hot for fireplaces or wood-burning stoves and leave behind a lot of creosote (the oily black soot-like buildup that is a major fire hazard), you will need an alternative way to dispose of your tree.  Fortunately, College Station has a Christmas tree recycling program that is simple and easy for its citizens.

All you have to do to participate in College Station's Christmas tree recycling program is take off the lights and other decorations on your tree, including the tinsel, and leave the trees at your curbside by 8 am on your regular trash pickup day from now through January 6, 2012.  The trees that are picked up will be turned into compost or sent through the wood chipper and spread out on College Station parks.  The wood chips help maintain moisture, keep valuable nutrients in the soil, decrease erosion and reduce the amount of soil compaction from foot traffic.

Again, make sure you have taken off any artificial decorations, including lights, ornaments, tinsel and flocking as well as the tree stand before you place your Christmas tree at the curb for recycling in College Station.  Do not ever cut up the tree and use it for firewood inside your home.  The last thing you need to do is become a house fire statistic during the holidays.
