It’s a sad fact that every holiday season the chances for tragedy striking in the form of home fires increases. All good intentions aside, it’s the holiday overuse of candles, burning fireplace logs and additional electric cords that cause a lot of the problem. However, one of the big issues that is a potential hazard are the dried out Christmas trees. If you bring a live Christmas tree into your home then you are well aware of how often you need to water that tree. Although it may look fresh after a couple weeks that tree will still it dry out no matter how often you water it. A lot of that has to do with the heat in your own home that causes the moisture in the air to dry up the tree. Once you celebrated the holidays you don’t want to put off getting rid of that Christmas tree. A good rule of thumb to follow would be to take it down after the 12 days of Christmas.

While you might be familiar with the song the 12 days of Christmas you might not be aware that those 12 days actually refer to the time between December 25 and January 6. That is officially the Christmas holiday season according to church tradition. The time before December 25 is actually referred to as advent whereas those 12 days after Christmas is really the Christmas holiday. Some folks don’t like to wait that long and like to take the tree down right after New Year’s Day. That’s usually when all the lights also come down from the outside and all the ornaments are packed up.

Simply moving your Christmas tree out to the curb doesn’t mean the problem is solved. You need to make special arrangements to have that three properly disposed of. Those arrangements can come in the form of scheduling professional Colorado Springs Christmas Tree Disposal with Junk King’s specialists to show up and haul the tree straight from your home.

If you play your cards right, you could also use this same day of your Christmas tree disposal to get rid of a lot of other junk that you might have collected over the holidays. This could mean getting rid of all those big boxes from the computers, televisions and kitchen appliances you got for Christmas presents. These are other items you don’t want to set outside if for no other reason than you don’t need to share the world just what you got for Christmas!  Junk King’s pro haulers can load up the tree and all those boxes in one trip.

While you are at it you could also get them take away some of the junk you’ve been hanging onto throughout the years. This should be all the clutter in your garage, basement or attic. Chances are you probably re-familiarized yourself with all this junk as you went to gather all the Christmas decorations. While it is true that during the year that junk might be out of sight and out of mind would be better to have it “out” all together? Let Junk King Colorado Springs take care that job.
