Recycle Natural Christmas Trees in St. Charles County
Tuesday, December 27, 2022
Recycling natural Christmas trees after the holiday celebration extends that tradition and gives a beneficial gift to the community. When recycled, natural trees can be used as fish habitat in area lakes, chipped wood paths along natural surface walking trails, mulch and more.
