christmas tree recycling

If you live in the Anchorage, Alaska area we have some information for you on how and where to recycle your Christmas tree.

Now this is assuming you don’t reuse. If you have one of those Christmas trees you bought at the local department store, and plan to reuse it, then keep this information for next year. (or the year after that)

Starting December 28th (and until January 15th) you can drop off your Christmas tree at the Anchorage Carrs-Safeway store parking lots.

Recyclers are asked to look for the barriers and signs designating “Christmas Tree Recycling” and to leave bare trees only in these designated areas behind the barriers. All lights, ornaments, tree stands and plastic bags must be removed from trees before they’re dropped off.

Wreathes are not accepted — they can’t be recycled because of wires.

The last day to drop off trees is Jan. 15. Anchorage Boy Scouts will pick up trees in Anchorage for a small donation; call 868-8899.

Trees are turned into wood chips, which are then donated for use on public trails, paths and gardens.

The Christmas tree recycling drive is hosted by Alaskans for Litter Prevention and Recycling.

Electronic Cigarettes Trial Anyone?

Posted: 19 Dec 2009 09:18 PM PST

Electronic cigarettes or E-cigarettes were made to take the place of that nicotine-based cigarette but seems to be falling short on popularity. Perhaps a free trial could change its fortunes? Though it is really far from the real cigarette, do remember they were made to be alternatives and of course some adjustment is due. But if you want a free trial, why not get one on the web?

The Smoke Star electronic cigarette starter kit is affordably priced, and it comes with all the gear you need to switch over to a new, healthier smoking process. When you're ready to revolutionize the way you smoke, check out the different options that Smoke Star has to offer. With different models, nicotine levels and even a completely disposable option to try, Smoke Star electronic cigarettes are a good way to familiarize yourself with E cig devices.
