what happens to unsold christmas trees

Unfortunately, if a Christmas tree does not sell within the holiday season, it is likely to be discarded or composted. Christmas trees can be used as mulch, wildlife habitat, or even recycled into new products such as paper. However, some unsold trees may also be donated to shelters or given away to families who cannot afford a Christmas tree. Regardless of what happens to them, each tree has played its part in bringing joy to people during the holiday season.
