 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. After the ho-ho-ho, it's time for the tree to go-go-go, and if you're one of those families that enjoy traditional Christmas trees, like live trees, you need to know that the City of Fort Worth can help with taking this holiday memory in a green way. Live Christmas trees can be disposed of as part of the normal weekly yard waste pickup following the holidays. Recycling a live Christmas tree in Fort Worth is one of the easiest things to do. We have weekly yard waste collections. Just put your tree out on a weekly basis at your regular collection day, and it's collected as yard waste, and it's processed as yard waste and mulched up, and it does not put in the landfill for disposal. If you're one who goes for the authentic look by flocking your tree, that's spraying on fake snow for those that have to the dentist. Don't worry, you haven't messed up your chance to recycle your tree. Some people think flocked trees are a unique item. If they're not, they can be recycled and mulched up just like any other thing. Most of the flocking is going to be cellulose, which is just paper that's sprayed on a tree. All the ornaments, all the plastic wrapping needs to be taken off the tree as it's on the curb. If you've got an extra large house and you've got a very tall tree, please cut the tree in half. You limit it to about eight feet. Make sure the stand is not still attached to your tree when you set it out, and don't put it in a plastic bag. And remember, this is for live trees only. No artificial trees, if you please. If you have an artificial tree to dispose of, or if you can't wait for the next yard waste pickup for your live tree, you can also drop trees off at one of the city's three drop-off stations. And, as always, you can find a list of items accepted in Fort Worth's Curbside Recycling Program online.
