Why not be neighborly and give it to someone who has cats??!!!

Around here we throw them into the lake for a crappie (a fish) hotel!

I didn't put one up this year. Oh, yes I did. I crocheted 2 and put them up on door handles. Granny Squares.

When I was a kid, people brought their trees to the parking lot of the ballpark and they were piled up in a huge mountain of trees and set on fire. My dad took me one year to see it and it was spectacular.

O viously, they don't do that anymore......

They make good hiding places in wooded areas for critters.

That's what I thought as I read the thread title. Christmas tree? You mean the cat's climbing frame.

Christmas trees are taken down the road to the Alpaca farm for the Alpacas to enjoy eating the needles and bark. Pine bark is a rich source of nutrients, including calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. Pine needles are also a good source of vitamin C.

It's rare but occasionally Islanders here push their used Christmas Trees up against the Dunes...I guess in hopes to protect the dunes from erosion? (seagrass does a good job until something stronger than seagrass ruins that idea and we have to replant the seagrass).

One day I was walking on the beach with my daughter at the Island's Point where the wind is strongest when we saw from afar a huge pine tree rolling from the dunes to the surf with help from the wind. We were new to this phenomenon so we weren't sure at the time what it was. It's surreal.

In Sacramento you can take your tree to the curb and the city will pick it up on your neighborhood's specific day. They're taken to be mulched, and the city uses the mulch on various city properties, like the governor's mansion and park playgrounds.

When you are done with the Christmas tree, recycle the needles into tooth picks

I know someone who has goats. They really like the trees for food.

Where I live, in the Texas panhandle, we have yards to take them and they mulch them.

Yes, put it away...for another year..(tiny artificer)

We have a fake tree, but didn't put it up.
