What do Christmas tree disposal services include?
Packing up your Christmas tree is something you can do by yourself, but wouldn’t it be more convenient to have a reliable Tasker do it for you? Below, we listed down the different kinds of Christmas tree removal services you can book on Airtasker.Â
Tree cleanup and removal
Once all the presents are opened and the holiday feasts are over, it’s time to let go of your Christmas tree. Before anything else, all the ornaments, lights, tinsel, and garlands should be removed from the tree. These items will then be safely boxed and stored for next year’s holiday celebrations. The next step is to place the tree in a bag and bring it outside. Christmas tree bags are available in most hardware stores, but if you don’t have the time to get one, you can ask your chosen Tasker to bring one for you for a hassle-free service.Â
Real Christmas tree disposalÂ
Depending on the state and community you live in, your Tasker may leave your tree at the curb for your neighborhood’s scheduled tree pickup. If you want to ensure that this is a viable option, you may check online if there are Christmas tree pickups near you.Â
Another option is for your Tasker to drive the tree down to a local treecycling drop-off station. Many towns shred and recycle Christmas trees to produce mulch, which is useful for gardening in city parks. Christmas trees may also be donated to organizations that can make good use of them. These organizations include zoos, wildlife preserves, wetland restoration efforts, and soil erosion programs.
Artificial Christmas tree disposal
Unlike real Christmas trees, artificial trees last longer and may be used for many years. Once it’s time to replace it, disposing of artificial trees is also different from real ones. Your Tasker may simply pack it up in a trash bag and throw it away in a bin. If your tree is too large, your hired specialist may cut it up into small pieces to fit inside a trash container. But if your Christmas tree is still in good condition, you can donate it to a nursing home, orphanage, thrift store, or charity organization that can repurpose your tree. Â
Looking for more services to make things easier after the holidays? Taskers can also help with decluttering your home, cleaning your apartment, and organizing your space professionally.Â
