Recycling Christmas Trees: 5 Creative Uses for Christmas Trees After the Holidays Holidays Make a Difference Home

Looking for ideas to repurpose your Christmas trees for a sustainable start to the new year? Here are some earth-friendly alternatives for holiday cleanup once Christmas has come and gone.

1. Make mulch with pine needles: The pine needles from Christmas trees dry quickly and can make a wonderful mulch for a yard or garden.
2. Have your tree recycled: Contact a local waste facility to see if there is a city-wide tree pick-up day.
3. Make a natural bird feeder: If possible, place trees in the backyard and hang bird feeders from the branches or coat pine cones with peanut butter.
4. Place your tree in your woods: If a property has woods then place the tree in them – dead trees can provide shelter for animals.
5. Use the tree trunk: Get creative and cut tree trunks into small circles which can be used to edge flower beds or pathways.
