Don’t know what to do with your Christmas tree after the holidays? You can recycle it!

Most communities, including the City of Syracuse, provide a curbside pick-up for trees. They simply ask that you put your tree – no plastic bags, lights, tinsel, stands, or ornaments – at your curb during the scheduled pick-up time.

A few municipalities have a drop-off.

Onondaga County residents can also bring their Christmas trees (and leaves / brush) to either of the OCRRA compost sites between Jan. 3 – Jan. 12, 2008.

• Amboy
• Jamesville

There is no charge to deliver trees to either site. In the spring, the trees are ground into mulch that, in turn, can be used in gardens and landscaping.
