Christmas tree recycling

Article Abstract:

Mahoning County, OH, started a program to recycle Christmas trees after the holidays in Dec 1991. Drop-off sites for each township were designated. Accessibility to people and space for collected matter were factors considered to declare a place as a suitable drop-off site. Media were used extensively to encourage public participation. The support of local officials was also sought to make people more aware and more agreeable toward the drive. An automated chipper and a grinder were suggested as ideal machines for the task.
