The holiday season is wrapping up, and just like that festive spirit, it’s time to say goodbye to your live Christmas trees! But before you toss that tree out, did you know that recycling it can make a big difference? That’s right, residents of beautiful Beaufort County are encouraged to recycle their live Christmas trees after the holiday hustle and bustle. Let’s talk about how it works, shall we?
Did you ever stop to think about how much valuable landfill space live Christmas trees can take up? By choosing to recycle your tree, you’ll not only be getting rid of it responsibly but also helping to keep our environment cleaner and greener. Now that’s a holiday gift that keeps on giving!
For those of you with Convenience Center decals, here’s the good news: you can drop off your live Christmas trees at any County Convenience Center during regular operating hours. Have a tree that needs a new home? Just make sure to place it in the designated yard waste bins when you arrive. It’s an easy and eco-friendly way to dispose of your tree after the celebrations!
If you don’t have a Convenience Center decal, don’t fret! You can still recycle your tree, but drop-off will be limited to specific locations: Shanklin Road in Beaufort or Simmonsville Road in Bluffton. So, mark those spots on your map!
Before bringing your tree to the recycling center, just a friendly reminder: all decorations, ornaments, and lights must be removed from the tree. No one wants a glittery surprise in their yard waste bin, right?
The County Convenience Centers are open from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Just keep in mind that they will close early at 1 p.m. on New Year’s Eve and will be closed all day on New Year’s Day. Also, Wednesdays are a no-go for all centers, so plan accordingly! If you’d like to find out more about the locations and hours, hop online to www.beaufortcountysc.gov/recycle or give them a call at 843-255-2736.
If you’re the DIY type, consider giving your old tree a second life at home! You can compost it, use a woodchip for mulch, craft with tree needles, or even cut the trunk into coasters for your next gathering. The possibilities are endless!
Another option for Lowcountry residents is using LoadUp’s eco-friendly tree removal service. They offer both in-home and curbside pickup, so you can choose what works best for you. It’s a simple and sustainable solution for tree disposal.
And don’t forget about those old Christmas lights! Residents can recycle them at the Hilton Head Convenience Center, just be sure to place them in the designated recycling containers. It’s that easy!
So there you have it, Beaufort County! As the holiday season closes, let’s commit to recycling our trees and doing our part for the planet. Happy New Year, and happy recycling!
