When Do You Toss Out Your Tree?

Strangler Lewis · 12-26-2006, 10:54 AM

When I was a kid and we had a fake tree, we kept it up through my birthday in January. Now, we generally try to take advantage of one of the Boy Scout/Girl Scout curbside pickups in early January. This year, though, we were late in getting the thing decorated. We might keep it up a little longer, and I'll just chop it up and throw it in the bins assuming it does not dry out. Once it starts getting dry, out it goes.

Our tree stays up until at least January 5th. Then, it is disassembled, ornaments packed, lights packed and the tree is bagged and on the curb. Then I vacuum like a madwoman to get the needles up.
