It’s time to kick 2020 to the curb. And let’s face it, the only downside to this year being over is having to take down all cheerful holiday décor that’s kept our spirits afloat this month.
Still, the holiday season is wrapping up… which means it’s time to do the same to your Christmas tree. Whether you have a live or artificial Christmas tree, follow the flow chart to help you decide the best (and most environmentally-friendly) way to get rid of your tree this year.
It’s important to remember you should never burn a tree in your fireplace or stove. Live trees are extremely flammable and can cause a flare-up or chimney fire. Also, do not feed your tree to any animals. Whether an indoor pet or farm animal, trees can be mildly toxic and pine needles, if consumed, can cause intestinal irritation or puncture.
