Before you toss out your Christmas tree, think about how it could help your home or garden! You can turn those pine needles into natural air fresheners, make your own mulch, or even use the trunk for firewood or compost. If you’re ready to recycle, Birmingham and nearby areas have drop-off spots like the Zoo and several parks in Shelby County. Homewood even offers curbside pickup—just remember to remove all decorations. Local teens are also offering tree removal services. How do you plan to give your tree a second life this year? #Safety #BirminghamAL #ChristmasTree
