Recycle your tree in 2021

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.
