RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- A Riverside County program will recycle Christmas trees
into fish habitats instead of tossing them into landfills, where space is
valuable and limited.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise ( http://bit.ly/tbRnUg) has published a list of
recycling centers where trees can be dropped off for free during two weeks after
Christmas.
The state department of fish and game will use the conifers in local lakes and
waterways to create a protective habitat for small fish, so they aren't
overfished by larger predators.
To prepare a tree for recycling, decorations, tinsels, lights and tree stands
must be removed.
Flocked trees cannot be recycled.
