The Texas A&M Forest Service reminds everyone that fire danger doesn’t end just because the holidays are over. In Texas, careless debris burning causes the largest number of human-caused wildfires, and unsafe burning of leftover Christmas paraphernalia and Christmas trees after the holidays could spark outdoor fires. There are several alternatives for safe disposal.
If you still have a tree, Chip the tree and use the material as mulch in landscaping beds. Cut the trunk of the tree into small pieces to use as pathway edging. Composting is a great way to dispose of your tree and tissue paper. Recycle the wrapping paper, or save it to use again.
Always check with the Walker County Website page for Burn Ban updates.
