Valerie Hall+FollowYou Won’t Believe What Happens to Unsold Xmas TreesEver wonder what happens to all those Christmas trees after the holidays? One shopper in Lithuania spotted their local supermarket selling leftover trees for just 1 cent the day after Christmas. The catch? Most of these trees probably end up in landfills, releasing harmful gases. But commenters had better ideas—like donating them for wildlife habitats or turning them into mulch.

Anthony Cook+FollowWhy Lowe’s Christmas tree policy feels wastefulSeeing dozens of unsold Christmas trees dumped in a dumpster instead of being mulched or donated to farms really hits home how much waste happens after the holidays. A Lowe’s employee shared their frustration after being told to haul truckloads of trees to a city disposal event—only to find no shredder, just a dumpster. Not only is this tough physical work, but it means all those trees will end up in a landfill, slowly breaking down and releasing methane. Wouldn’t it make more sense to turn them into mulch or animal feed? What’s the best way stores could handle post-holiday waste? #Business #LocalBusiness #ChristmasWaste01Share
