Why Should I Recycle My Christmas Tree?
Recycling your live Christmas trees is more than just a convenient service. It contributes to the environment in several ways:
- Save Landfill Space: By recycling the trees, we can save valuable landfill space.
- Nutrient Recycling: These trees decompose and provide essential nutrients back to the soil.
- Habitats for Wildlife: In some programs, recycled trees are used to create habitats for wildlife.
- Erosion Control: Decomposed trees can also aid in erosion control in our lakes and rivers.
