Before you buy a live Christmas tree this year think about how you want to dispose of it. The environmentally responsible thing is to keep the tree out of the landfill. But, in order to recycle your tree you must avoid flocking and tinsel of any type.

So, when you head out to find that perfect live Christmas tree for your house don’t purchase a flocked tree and don’t add flocking or tinsel to your Christmas tree at home. After Christmas remove your tree from the stand, remove all tinsel (if you added any), lights and ornaments and recycle your tree by one of these options.

Whichever option you choose, you will be diverting your tree from the landfill!  If you have used an artificial Christmas tree and are looking to dispose of it, bring it to the Recycling Center.  Thanks for doing your part to help keep Pearland Beautiful and happy holidays!
