Every year in the United States 25 – 30 million live Christmas trees are bought. Nationwide there are about 15,000 Christmas tree farms that supply the trees each year.In fact, over 500 square miles in the U.S. are dedicated to just growing Christmas trees.
But now that Christmas is over, one more step needs to be done: recycle the tree. Almost every community now has some sort of free service where people can dump their trees.
The trees are cut up, mulched, and disposed of in an environmentally beneficial way.
So please, make sure you recycle your tree this year.
