Christmas is over and my annual ritual of breaking down gift/cardboard boxes is complete. I was hoping to be setting out a box from a new 52" T.V., but Santa delivered it to the neighbors. Instead, I got to recycle a couple boxes from new lamps. Many items from Christmas gifts are recyclable, such as toy boxes, shoe boxes, and cardboard boxes too. Our recycling hauler tells me that gift wrap is not recyclable, but the rolls from gift wrap are. I know this recycling thing can still be confusing, but try to bear with me.
Christmas trees are going to start showing up at the curb and please remember that most garbage haulers require you to call them to set up Christmas tree recycling. Some charge a small recycling fee and most only pick up through the first week or two into January. There is also a free Christmas tree recycling drop-off site for Hennepin County residents at RRT Processing Solutions at 630 Malcolm Ave SE, Minneapolis. They only accept them for a limited time in January. For more information call 612-331-3993.
