Recycling Program
According to the National Christmas Tree Association there are currently more than 4,000 Christmas Tree recycling programs in the U.S. Christmas Trees are a renewable and recyclable resource. They are grown on farms just as corn, or potatoes or any other crop. The growing of Christmas Trees provides jobs for over 100,000 people in the United States unlike fake or artificial trees which, for the most part, come from China. These artificial trees may be used for a number of years but once they are disposed of will stay in the landfill forever!
