Many if not all apartments or condos do not offer recycling services. When Las Vegas valley resident Jennifer Turchin wants to recycle she drives to the north part of town to drop off recycling items.

The recycled trees will be chipped into mulch and donated to a non-profit, Green Our Planet, for use in Clark County school gardens.

Now that all the gifts are gone from under your Christmas tree, it might be time to think about gifting that tree to the community.

Rather than throwing your Christmas tree away, you can help re-purpose it into mulch that will be used at community gardens and parks.

UNLV students from the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality are hosting a free recycling event on Saturday.

Saturday is World Recycling Day, and although most people don't intentionally hoard trash, thousands of households in Southern Nevada often face challenges with recycling.

With supply chain impacts boosting the price of almost everything this year — including Christmas trees — residents are asked to make the most of their holiday investment by recycling their tree instead of tossing it in the trash.  

Christmas tree recycling has once again begun in the Las Vegas valley.
