If your tree survived to Christmas, aka it’s not shedding needles like your dog sheds hair and your cat only shattered one or two of the ornaments, take a bow. We congratulate you — in part because some of us were too lazy to even put one up. However, it’s now about time to undecorate the tree and haul it off. We know that’s not nearly as fun as putting it up — but alas, it is a dead tree, unless you love Mother Nature so much you purchased one of those trees with the rootball still intact. But you can be nice to Mother Nature even if you don’t plant the tree by grinding it into bits and throwing it into your backyard. Or you can have Hall County Resource Recovery do it for you.
