Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree…what do I do with you now? Personally, I make sure to put my tree out when the Boy Scouts are picking up. Well worth the $5-10 donation!
Here are some other options from Clark County:
“When Christmas is over, many people start to take down their trees and look for a place to recycle them.
Remember: Before recycling, remove all lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments and other materials that are not a part of the original tree. Wreaths and swags can also be recycled, but take them off of the frames and wires.
Recycling
In Clark County, the following options are available for recycling Christmas trees:
