Sadly, the Christmas holidays don’t last forever. And even though we’d all love them to last longer, the joyous memories we create last much longer.
No doubt, there’s a need to tear down decorations (both indoors and out) and accessories when the holidays are over. Those decorations and Christmas ornaments all take a break for 11 months. But what happen to the trees after then? You keep them from going to waste!
There are several ways that you can repurpose your flocked Christmas trees after the festive season is over, and you’ll find some below.
Here are some environmentally-friendly guides on what to do with your Real and Artificial trees after Christmas:
REAL TREES
Recycling plans for Christmas trees exist in some cities, and their citizens can easily participate. You may hot the internet to find the nearest recycling programs you can join.
A tree can be chopped into wood chips and used for landscaping or other purposes. You can also donate your trees to natural habitats to preserve their beauty. You can use trees for stream rejuvenation and establishing fish sanctuaries.
Creating birdfeeders is one popular DIY reuse of trees. You can attach grain, millets, orange slices, and other bird food to the branches of the tree.
You can also decide to start a compost pile with your tree.
ARTIFICIAL TREES
A key feature of artificial trees is their durability. A fake tree typically lasts from seven to ten years. So, properly store and reuse your trees. Repeat this process until they lose form and wear out. In this way, you can avoid overcrowding of trees for a couple of years.
You can also sell your tree to someone who is interested. Or, for a more humane course, you can donate it to charities.
Be sure to remove every single ornament and light from your trees before you repurpose them.
