Where to Dispose of Christmas Tree Waste

Junk King Jefferson Parish is Here to Offer Junk Removal and Hauling Services for Your Christmas Trees

If your family has a live Christmas tree tradition, you'll need to figure out how to dispose of it after the holidays. Because the tree is so large, some city garbage firms will refuse to pick it up with the rest of your rubbish. See what else you can do with an old Christmas tree after the holidays.

Leave It on the Curb For Your Regular Garbage Pickup

The simplest approach to get rid of your Christmas tree is to throw it out with the rest of your trash. However, if you reside in an apartment, you may not be able to do so. Check your city's website or ask your landlord if you can dispose of your tree alongside the rest of your garbage. But, the best way to make sure your tree is disposed of properly is with Junk King's junk removal and hauling services because over 60% of the junk we take is recycled.

Take Your Tree to an Organized Drop-Off Location

Many localities have designated areas where individuals can leave their Christmas trees after the holiday season. If this is a possibility in your city, load the tree into your car and drop it off as soon as possible. Remember to cover your car with a tarp or piece of plastic to protect it from tree debris.

Reuse the Pine Needles

Before you dispose of your tree, you can save the pine needles. Spreading pine needles in alkaline soil, planters, or throughout the yard can aid in pH reduction. However, this may be a lot more work than just calling a junk removal company like Junk King to take it away.

Use the Tree for Firewood

You can use your tree to start a fire if you have a fireplace or a fire pit outside. Make sure your tree is completely dry before burning it, and then sit back and enjoy the fire.
