If you haven't taken down your Christmas tree yet, or maybe you have and it remains out in your yard waiting to be collected, there's plenty of things to do with it if you wanted to pull it back.
Candace Miller at the University of Illinois Extension Office indicates there are a lot of things you can do with a leftover Christmas tree. She explains simply setting it up in your yard can give natural wildlife a habitat this time of the year.
Repurposing your tree into a winter wreath can be an option. Miller explains just about any evergreen type works well for whatever you might end up doing with it.
If you're simply looking to discard the tree, Miller encourages a call to your local municipal building and inquiring about a recycling program they may offer or if they'll come and pick the tree up for you.
