Disposing of Your Christmas Tree

27th December, 2011 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

Did you buy a real Christmas tree this year and don’t know how to dispose of it?  Good news! If you’re a Austin garbage customer (like a home owner or home renter), just put your tree out on the curb on your regular trash day and the city of Austin will pick it up.  If you aren’t a regular Austin garbage customers, for example if you live in an apartment, you can take your tree down to Zilker Park.  Either way, your tree will be turned into Dillo dirt or mulch, rather than sent to a landfill.  Check out more information from the city’s website here (info on curbside recycling) or here (info on Zilker Park recycling).
