ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. — The holidays are over, and for many people, that means it’s time to start thinking about what to do with the Christmas tree.
St. Peters Earth Centre is offering free Christmas tree recycling through Jan. 17.
While it was not very busy Saturday, officials said they have recycled about 200 to 300 Christmas trees so far. They said recycling usually picks up about the middle of January.
St. Peters Compost Operations Manager Elliot Schneider showed off the finished product of the recycling process.
