Andisheh sends us a photo of this year’s post-Christmas Agnes Scott pine tree gathering.

But where he sees a place where “Christmas trees in Decatur go to die”, I see a lively Christmas tree pig pile. (Someone must have left a bottle of water in the parking lot.)

And speaking of dispensing of your tree, Cate writes in…

Please Decaturites, don’t leave your be-tinseled tree on the curb for the trash guys to pick up. All sorts of small animals love to chew on tinsel and can get seriously ill.

Andisheh provides us with this slightly disturbing pic of a pile of soon-to-be recycled Decatur Christmas trees.  Being multi-talented, he also provided the post title.

We didn’t get ours down in time to make Decatur’s recycling deadline.  Guess we’ll have to drop it off at Home Depot?

Dennis over at Next Stop reminds us about Decatur’s convenient Christmas tree recycling program going on now thru January 3rd.

Here’s the text off the city’s website…

Recycle your live Christmas tree in the annual “Bring One for the Chipper” event on Saturday, Jan.3. Drop off your tree at the Christmas Tree Recycling Center in the Agnes Scott parking lot. The entrance is between 184 and 206 S. Candler St.

The recycling center will be open Wednesday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Jan 3.

Please do not leave trees anywhere else on the Agnes Scott campus.

Of course, that assumes your already motivated enough after a long, tiring holiday to strip your tree, which you swear you just put up, and haul it over to Agnes Scott.
