Christmas Tree & Holiday Recycling
I’ve already seen Christmas trees piling up on the curb around town. With just a little effort, you can keep that tree out of the landfill! “The City of Mobile is collecting trees at eight locations through January 7″:http://www.cityofmobile.org/news.php?view=full&news=1484. If you’re worried about getting needles in your car, just bag it in a large trash & leaf bag for the ride over. If it won’t fit in your car, saw it in half and you’ll have an easier time getting it in your trunk or hatch.
Recycled trees will be ground into mulch that will be available free to the public on January 10 at the Greater Gulf State Fairgrounds. I’ve been told that you shouldn’t apply the mulch right away, but should let it compost a bit before applying it to your plants.
The city also provides some “post-holiday recycling tips”:http://www.cityofmobile.org/news.php?view=full&news=1491 if you have packaging and gift wrap.
