So why do you need a Christmas tree disposal bag for
your "dead" Christmas tree? It's simply to dispose of it neatly and keep those
tree needles from turning up months later all over your carpet and furniture.
These also are sometimes called Christmas tree removal bags. Think of
them as very large trash bags--and unfortunately regular trash bags don't come
in big enough sizes to help you to dispose of your tree neatly. If you keep it
in good shape, you can use the bag year after year when removing your Christmas tree
from your house to wherever it's going. But some Christmas tree disposal bags
are quite inexpensive and meant to be thrown away. Check your largest major discount retailer
in the holiday supplies section for Christmas tree disposal bags. And remember,
you put the bag on the tree before you move it (so you might want to make it a
two-person job in your home).
So where is it going?
What do you do with your dried out "live" Christmas tree (yes, it'll be dried
out by January--don't save it past then.)? Watch your local news and read your
local newspaper for options. They'll usually mention something about Christmas
tree disposal during the holiday season. While some people take their trees to
the dump or put the Christmas tree out for curbside pickup on days designated
for Christmas tree pick up by the city or county, there are sometimes other
options. For instance, sometimes your city or county offers a mulching program
where you bring your tree to a certain location and they run it through a
machine and turn it into wood chips. The wood chips are then used for mulch or
ground cover by the city.
In addition to watching local news and reading local newspapers for tips on
Christmas tree disposal in your area, also search online on the web for
"Christmas tree recycling programs" and "Christmas tree disposal" rules in your
geographical area.
