Instead of dragging your Christmas tree to the curb this year, why not recycle it instead? During the long, cold winter months, you can place the tree in a secluded spot to shelter wildlife. When the weather warms, you can use a mulcher to turn your Christmas tree into pine mulch, which you can spread on your garden beds. If you don't have a mulcher, check with your local sanitation department to see if there is a program in place to mulch homeowners' Christmas trees.
