How to dispose of a Christmas tree?
Your local municipal will start collecting the Christmas trees in January.
Disposing of the Christmas tree in Germany varies from state to state. In Germany's capital, Berlin, disposing of the tree is straightforward.
You must remove all the decorations and put the tree on the sidewalk. Ensure that you are not blocking the way. The local garbage collection authorities will pick the tree for free on the pickup date.
But in other states like Stuttgart, you must take the tree to one of the many collection points communicated by the municipal authorities.

Is buying a Christmas tree environmentally friendly?
The experts say buying a natural Christmas tree is more environmentally friendly than buying an artificial one.
The experts argue that the natural tree is decomposed or recycled. Moreover, the natural Christmas trees are mass-produced. Thus contributing to CO2 reduction and providing shelter to the wildlife.
On the other hand, artificial Christmas trees are made of plastic or other chemicals. Hence, disposing of them is not simple.
You can dispose of natural trees in your garden. But you can't do the same with the artificial trees.
So, don't worry about cutting a tree just for a few weeks. The companies plant many more to meet the demand.
