Recycle that Christmas Tree.

Christmas Tree Disposal Info – 2008/2009
There are approximately 25-30 million Real Christmas Trees sold in the U.S. every year. Real trees are a renewable, recyclable resource. CVWMA encourages residents throughout the Central Virginia region to recycle their personal trees. The Christmas Tree Recycling Program offered by our member localities to their residents is yet another way to recycle and go green for the holidays. The recycled trees will be ground into a mulch product.
Please be sure to remove all tinsel, bulbs, wire and bolts from the tree. Unless indicated, sites will grind trees into mulch. Use of each site/option is restricted to residents of the sponsoring city or county only.

Thanks for the info, Vicki! Very useful. So just to clarify, if you live in Richmond, trees will be recycled only if you take them to the East Richmond Rd Convenience Ctr?
Yes, if you live in Richmond you MUST take your tree to the East Richmond Rd Convenience Ctr. If you leave your tree out for trash collection it will not be recycled.
