What to do with your Christmas trees after the holidays

First Thing’s First: Check with Your Local Municipality Regulations

We can only wish for Christmas to last forever. But sadly, it doesn’t.

While Christmas may only last for a moment, , the joyous memories we create last much longer.

No doubt, there’s a need to tear down decorations (both indoors and out) and accessories when the holidays are over. Those decorations and ornaments all take a break for 11 months. But what happen to the trees after then?  You keep them from going to waste!

There are several ways that you can repurpose your Christmas trees after the festive season is over, and you’ll find some below.

Here are some environmentally-friendly guides on what to do with your Real and Artificial Christmas trees after the holidays:

REAL TREES

Recycling plans for Christmas trees exist in some cities, and their citizens can easily participate. You may hot the internet to find the nearest recycling programs you can join.

A tree can be chopped into wood chips and used for landscaping or other purposes. You  can also donate your trees to natural habitats to preserve their beauty. You can use trees for stream rejuvenation and establishing fish sanctuaries.

Creating birdfeeders is one popular DIY reuse of trees. You can attach grain, millets, orange slices, and other bird food to the branches of the tree.

You can also decide to start a compost pile with your tree.

ARTIFICIAL TREES

A key feature of artificial Christmas trees is their durability. A fake tree typically lasts from seven to ten  years. So, properly store and reuse your trees. Repeat this process until they lose form  and wear out. In this way, you can avoid overcrowding of trees for a couple of  years.

You can also sell your tree to someone who is interested. Or, for a more humane course, you can donate it to charities.

Be sure to remove every single ornament and light from your trees before you repurpose them.
