It's that time of year to do something about that Christmas tree. For me, it's as easy as putting it up in my attic. But if you have the real deal, then you have to dispose of it the right way.
Don't be like that guy who just throws it on the side of the house and forgets about.
In Houston, you can drop off trees at one of 18 free, drop-off, recycling sites located throughout the city.
The program runs from December 27th, 2012 to January 8th, 2013. (closed January 1, 2013).
In addition to the drop-off locations, residents with City of Houston collection may place their tree curbside on their scheduled tree waste day and it will be recycled. Trees that are collected for recycling will be ground into mulch that is available in bulk directly from Living Earth or available in bags at Houston retailers.
Trees must have all decorations, ornaments, tinsel, lights and stands removed. Flocked trees cannot be recycled.

For more information about the dunes project call James at (979) 864-1541 ext 7.
Option 2: If you live in a single family dwelling in the City of Pearland, you may leave your tree curbside on your green waste day (second trash day of the week).
