It’s January, which means it’s time to take down those trees and settle into a new year. But don’t put your tree out on the curb! If you do, it will end up in a landfill. Give it new life by taking it to one of these locations to be used as mulch. Please remove all lights, stands, ornaments, and tinsel before dropping off your tree.
