Christmas tree recycling locations in North Texas
Save Me Steve: Holiday recycling dos & don'ts
Many of us will use this week between Christmas and New Year's to take down decorations and throw away gift wrap and boxes. The holiday season results in an extra 25 million tons of trash annually. But some of that trash should go to your local recycling facility. Consumer reporter Steve Noviello says it's best to know what to recycle and what to throw away.
