Compost Your Christmas Tree
After your Christmas tree has fulfilled its holiday duty, don’t disgrace it by sending it to the landfill, help your tree find its way back home through composting.
Managing the Christmas trees has been a problem dating back to the 1940’s.
Check out this vintage article we stumbled across written in Missoula, 1949- “Marketing Montana Tree’s”.
Your tree has more to give, it is filled with carbon, nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. These nutrients enrich the soil helping new plants to grow and keeping established plants healthy. Carbon also helps provide structure to the soil allowing it to combat erosion and increase water retention.
Your options for sustainable tree disposal in Missoula include:
Missoula Compost customers can place trees by their bin on the scheduled pick up day. We will collect it on route for an additional $5.
Schedule a one-time tree pick up with Missoula Compost for $10 by calling 406-370-5876 or fill out a one-time pick up form.
Check out Missoula’s Christmas Ever-Green tree recycling program from December 26 to January 15 on their website for drop off locations.
