The holiday season is upon us, and before we know it, it will be wrapping up in 2020.
As you tuck away your holiday decorations back into the basement or attic, you can grant your live Christmas tree one last wish by giving it another life instead of tossing it in the dumpster.
You can recycle your tree free of charge thanks to Texas Disposal Systems (TDS).
Starting on Dec. 26, residents can drop off their unflocked trees and organic holiday decorations at several sites in Central Texas.
The living decorations will be repurposed and made into "nutrient-rich mulch and compost through the Texas Disposal Systems composting division. The finished composts and mulches will be available for purchase at Garden-Ville stores throughout Central Texas."
According to the Associated Press, the demand for real Christmas trees was up in 2020.
