Do you recycle your Christmas, Yule, etc. greens?

way to go writersedge! recylce make crafts- have wreaths all winter due to cold weather i take the branches and dry use in closets drawers for the scent also happy holidays

We used to just put the tree on a pile of such things we had out by the garden. That was back in the 70's and 80's. Now days we either put it in the trash or something. Could have burned it in the stove if we still used a wood burner. We live in an apartment now so we don't have much of a way to utilize it.

when we get a real Christmas tree we send them to a place where they get chopped up and sold as mulch for gardens. the city picks them up for free but sells the mulch. at least we get rid of it this way.

I don't have the real stuff around the house because I'm so allergic to them - of course, I also don't decorate much...

I have a fake tree or store bought one, not a live one. I got tired of the mess you have to clean up and the needles on the floor to step on so got this nice big one at the goodwill one day when i was in there. It really is a pretty tree, but don't have that smell that a real one has, I wanted to get a real one this year but kept putting it off and finally ended up putting up the fake one. So there is nothing to dispose of. But when I lived in Louisiana, they kept them all and took them up on the levee on New Years and burnt them. Here where I live you just put them out by the curb and the trash man comes along on certain days and picks them up.

Hi, Edge! What a lovely idea!

I did not have real greens this year. Usually we take them to the park department to be turned into mulch. I actually put up decor only a week ago or so. I made a Christmas Tree out of a tomato cage. I know the fragrant pillows sound great. There is a big movement to use pine straw instead of cedar bark for mulch.
