If you bought a cut tree for the holidays, remember to “treecycle”: Recycling your cut Christmas tree, so that it can be used as compost or mulch. Recycled trees can also be used in fish habitats, for beachfront erosion or shoreline stabilization projects.
Locally, many communities and the Clermont County Park District offer opportunities to treecycle. Before you take your tree to a collection site or haul it to the curb for pickup, be sure to remove all lights, tinsel and decorations.
Where to go:

Pick-up is not guaranteed for the same day but residents should set the tree at the curb for collection at the time they call for pick-up.
