There are a few ways to dispose of a Christmas tree after the holiday season. One way is to recycle it. Many cities and municipalities have programs that allow residents to drop off their trees for recycling. The trees are usually turned into mulch or compost. Another way is to dispose of it as trash. Some cities and towns may allow residents to place their trees at the curb for regular trash pickup, or they may have a special collection day for disposing of trees. Some people may also choose to cut up the tree and burn it in a fireplace or outdoor fire pit.
