Burning Christmas trees is illegal, tree-cycle instead
Dec. 27, 2004 – Turn your Christmas tree into garden mulch for little or no money. It’s easy and environmentally friendly. And remember, it is illegal to burn unseasoned wood, such as a fresh Christmas tree, in your fireplace or wood stove.
Your tree must not have any flocking, hangers, ornaments or tinsel on it. Some tree-cycling programs have diameter limits. In some cases, residents can even get wood chips to mulch their own gardens. For more information:
