(Alberta Times) When Christmas comes, bringing home a Christmas tree with the scent of pine oil and the whole family decorating it into a colorful holiday tree is something many traditional families like to do. However, after the festival, these trees become unpopular. Throw it next to the trash can outside the wall and wait for the garbage dump to pick it up. It will probably be there for two or three months. In fact, at this time of year, every city has a designated place to recycle these Christmas trees. Some cities also accept payment from citizens, and the city government sends people to pick up the trees at their doorsteps. In Phoenix, recycling will be accepted from December 26 to January 8. Find locations online at http://phoenix.gov/publicworks/garbage/disposable/composting.html or call 602-534-9440.
