1st To The Curb

The first tree up is the first one out the door. Our local trash collection will take it away, but we had to cut off the top because they will only take them 8ft. and under.
I always find this scene, repeated in all different neighborhoods, to be sort of sad...end of festivities and return to every day activity. But it also means the New Year is starting and that's always a hopeful time.

Great capture and interesting that your trash will take them. Ours won't un less you cut them into pieces small enough to fit them in the bin. Otherwise our local garden centre will recycle them.

Great to see them go for local compost Vicki, they can then be put back into the soil and feed, and mulch.

We will not take down the decorations before Epiphany and sometimes we leave them there even after that. Christine loves to see the festive lights in the house.

I love your photo. What a pretty tree you had. I hear that they recycle the trees or use them for something so not a waste of a cut tree. Happy New Year Vicki.

This reminds me of my grandfather's Christmas tree. He always got a short needle pine and sprayed it with some concoction he made to make it white and he had all blue lights and ornaments. The older blue lights not the mini-lights. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
