Christmas is over, now what to do with the tree? Instead of dumping it out at the curb, consider taking it in to be recycled. There are several recycling programs around the Las Vegas valley, just make sure all non-organic items are removed first (ornaments, tinsel, etc). Flocked trees cannot be recycled.
