Tallahassee, Recycle Your Christmas Trees

Tallahassee continues a holiday tradition by providing local residents with a greener way to dispose of their evergreens.

According to a press release from Sachs Media, Four Points by Sheraton Tallahassee Downtown has been designated again this year as an official drop-off location to recycle old Christmas trees.

The trees will be ground into mulch and used on the walking paths and trails to improve city parks.

Prepare your tree by removing all decorations and ornaments, then drop the tree off at 316 West Tennessee St. anytime between now and Jan. 4, 2015.

Were so excited to be participating in this program again this year, said hotel general manager Bo Schmitz, who claims this yearly venture is a chance to further the company's green initiatives program.Our company is highly involved in conservation and environmental initiatives, so this is a perfect fit for us. Christmas trees that would normally end up in a landfill will be given a second life and reused as mulch to help improve and beautify our city parks.
