If you wait until after New Year’s is over to begin un-decorating your house, you might be wondering how to get rid of your cut Christmas tree today.
There are several locations in Butler County that offer recycling for cut Christmas trees. Some locations require you to drop off your tree; others will pick up your tree curbside. All services require that your tree is completely free of all decorations and any plastic bag used to transport it.
