In the article, โGet ready to recycle those Christmas trees,โ Josh Baugh of Mysanantonio.com writes, โCity officials are reminding residents who recycle their trees that before dropping them off, the trees must be free of decorations, stands, nails and plastic wrapping. โFlockedโ Christmas trees, those adorned with artificial snow, also may be recycled. If the trees are taller than 6 feet, they must be cut in half.โ
Clearly, San Antonio isnโt messing around and has set up an effective system of recycling Christmas trees. Over the years, city officials have tried numerous methods in disposing of Christmas trees and, given the experience, have come up with a system that seems to work. All the power to them.
Before recycling your tree, make sure you adhere to your communityโs rules regarding it. While San Antonioโs rules are basically universal, certain communities may have specific requirements. Itโs great to see the country united in these recycling programs. At Cold Stream Farm, we support all forms of recycling and are ecstatic that people are starting off the New Year by making eco-friendly decisions.
