Hope you had a wonderful Christmas season, but if you're like me, it's time for the kids to take all their toys to their rooms, take out the last of the Christmas wrapping recycling... (which will hopefuly be picked up soon) and say goodbye to that natural pine tree you chose this year. No artificial trees for you, right? You're a traditionalist! (Me too!) The good thing is, your tree can be recycled and mulched free of charge.

Here is what you need to know:
