Many people buy new Christmas trees every year which leads to the disposal of used ones which is not environmental friendly. With all the lights and plastic adornments, the only choice for the owner is to put it into the dust bin. This can be revolutionized for a good cause by using valuable, green means.

Christmas tree recycling offers a departure from this tradition by using the mulch from the tree into manure for the garden.It all starts with enshrouding the Christmas tree in a polythene bag that can be used to carry it whole to the place of recycling. One should ensure that such adornments such as glass, pins and beads are removed so that they don’t disrupt the recycling process. The tree is then shredded and the bio-degraded matter given back to the owner for use in the planting site. Whole Christmas trees can be used to build soil barriers and curb soil erosion.
