Recycle Your Christmas Tree by Kicking It To the Curb

All of us are aware of the efforts being made at restoring the Louisiana coastline christmas tree and wetlands.  Did you know that something as simple as your Christmas tree can help?  It can!

Recycled Christmas trees are a big part of a project at Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge.  The trees will be used to rebuild sediment traps and help create natural habitats for shore and wading birds, along with alligators.  The rebuilding of these traps improves the health of the marsh habitat and benefits our local wetlands.

How can you help?

This weekend residents of Algiers and unincorporated areas of Jefferson Parish can place their Christmas trees curbside.  Please remove all ornaments, lights and tinsel.  Sorry, but flocked trees cannot be recycled.  From January 9th through January 12th, trees will be collected to be included in the recycling project.  Trucks will only pass once, so be sure to kick that tree to curb this weekend!
