Wondering what to do with that dried out Christmas tree?  There are plenty of options for recycling in Northern Colorado.  Just make sure to remove all decorations, lights, stands, tinsel, nails and other foreign objects from the tree before recycling it.

In Larimer County trees will be processed into wood mulch suitable for landscaping and gardening projects. Later in the spring, the mulch will be offered to the public for free at the Larimer County Landfill.
