Tree Recycling

As Christmas trees dry out, they become more and more flammable. Make sure to get rid of your tree after the holiday or when it is dry. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home.

There are several recycling opportunities for trees and wreaths, including local Scout troops that provide this service.

You can also recycle your holiday lights!
