Christmas Tree Disposal

Picture
If you're ready to dispose of your Christmas Tree, check out the options on our Christmas Tree recycling page - please keep in mind that trees, like all organic material, are banned from the landfill, however they can be brought to a local stump dump, picked up by a hauler, dropped off as clean wood, or fed to a goat!

We're Hiring!

We are currently accepting applications for the General Manager position.
