Houston's Solid Waste and Parks Departments will partner on a tree recycling program for residents to drop off their real trees.

As the holidays come to an end, there are several entities hosting Christmas tree recycling and disposal around the Greater Houston area.

If you have a fir tree drying out and shedding needles in your living room, there are several ways to dispose of or repurpose the tree to keep holiday clean-up to a minimum.

Starting Dec. 26, the Texas Disposal Systems will accept live Christmas trees and live decorations to be repurposed into compost and mulch.

With the expansion of NYC's curbside composting program, New Yorkers no longer have to wait for specific days to dispose their Christmas tree.

The city will open 11 drop-off locations from Dec. 26 to Jan. 26 as part of its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program, which encourages residents to recycle their trees instead
