Recycle Your California Christmas Tree for $20 bucks

Treechristmastreefarm

On the way back from a Clients place on the beach in Santa Monica this afternoon, we stopped off at our local Whole Foods store and snagged a loaf of their delicious Creme Brule French Toast for an upcoming party gift.  There were some thoughtful flyers at the registers encouraging shoppers to recycle their Christmas Trees through RecycleTrees.com and a way to stop dragging that tree through your condo elevator and having to clean up the mess later.  Finally, a hassle-free way to recycle your tree and give something back to the environment, and all it takes is a phone call and $20.

Starting at $20 California Christmas Tree Recycling will come to your home, remove the tree from its stand, vacuum the floor (really?), and take the combustible tree to the recycling center.  The mulch is then used for local plantings and a portion of all proceeds goes to Tree People.

The company is located in Tarzana, CA — (818) 986-1300 or visit their website.  Good deal.

If you’re not in Southern California, type your zip code into the National Christmas Tree Association website for alternative tree-recycling companies.

    John, thanks for the comment you posted for me. If you go back, you’ll see my reply.
    As for Christmas trees…here in the cold Northeast, I always nab 1 – 2 trees that people have put out for the trashmen, haul the trees home (hopefully by just dragging them down the street), and then cut the bows off, and place them over outdoor plants. I do this for my herbs, hostas and other plants. This helps to insulate the plants during the winter and inhibit the ground heaving as it freezes/thaws. If there is already snow on the ground, I place the branches on top of the snow over my plants. By doing this, I’ve rarely lost any plants over the winter.
    Of course, the remainder of the tree goes out the curb. I compost the branches in the spring.
