AUSTIN, Texas — Once Christmas is over, the next biggest decision might be how long to keep the tree up.
Whether you take it down on Dec. 26 or leave it glowing until after Jan. 1, the end result is the same: you have to dispose of it somehow.
Fortunately, there are plenty of locations around the Austin area that'll take it off your hands, as long as it's free of lights, decorations, wire and garland.
