Dealing with Live Christmas trees

Christmas is over and your residents need to dispose of their live Christmas trees. My association has 166 residents and about 1/3 of them use live trees each year, which in years past created a huge problem.  

We would find trees in hallways, behind buildings, in the woods and just as bad in the trash dumpsters. Renting a dumpster for old trees is very costly so we looked for an alternative. Our property manager suggested a solution which was to use our landscaper to dispose of the trees. Most larger landscapers have to deal with recycling trees and other landscaping foliage.  

Our current landscaper actually offers a service where they come and pick up all of the trees for a small fee per tree and haul them back to their facility where they use a chipper to recycle them.
