Colorado Recycles announces new Christmas tree recycling web site

Colorado Recycles has launched a new web site dedicated to recycling information about Christmas trees, holiday wrap, packaging materials and other recycling information for the holiday season.

For many years, Colorado Recycles has published the only comprehensive statewide guide to Christmas tree recycling available in Colorado. That information has been posted on our web site at www.colorado-recycles.org as part of our statewide Recycling Guide. In recent years, more and more Christmas tree recycling programs have been initiated by local governments, civic organizations and other entities and that data base was becoming so extensive that we have placed it on its own web site. The new web site can be located at www.recycleyourchristmastree.com

On the new web site you will find the Christmas tree recycling guide which is organized by county. Simply click on the county name (such as Arapahoe) and the information for each municipality, the county itself and any known community or commercial programs will be displayed. We have already received several responses and more are arriving daily. We will get them posted as quickly as we can. If your community does not show any information, please check back regularly to see if something has been posted.

The web site also has links to MapQuest where drop site locations can be mapped to assist the public. And, there is also a language translation link to Babel Fish that converts the information into 8 different languages.

There is also a printable information form that can be downloaded (it is in a PDF), completed and FAX'ed back to us at (303) 755-6815. Some communities have emailed us digital copies of their public announcements, and that information is acceptable as well.

We have also posted some educational links that teachers can use if they are preparing lesson plans for holiday programs or units.

We are gathering information about other recycling interests - such as rechargeable batteries, packaging, holiday wrap and other items - and will be posting that information as well.

This new web site is a community service sponsored by Colorado Recycles and the web site may be linked without charge.
