when does the rockefeller center christmas tree come down

The famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is taken down each year after the holiday season. The exact date can vary, but it typically happens in early January. The tree is carefully dismantled and transported to a recycling facility, where it is chipped into mulch to be used in gardens and landscaping projects. The tree's lights and decorations are also removed and reused or donated to charitable organizations. It is estimated that the tree can provide up to 3,000 pounds of mulch, helping to reduce waste and promote environmental sustainability.
