Did you know your holiday tree can be turned into valuable compost and mulch?When the time comes, tree-cycle 🌲 ♻️ responsibly by removing all tinsel, decorations, lights, stands, nails, and plastic bags before putting the tree out for curbside pickup. Flocked trees must be cut to fit in your garbage cart, as the flocking material makes them unacceptable for composting. Pickup schedules can vary by city, so double-check online for schedules and instructions. Visit https://lnkd.in/gCVJREyX or check with your local hauler.
