It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, with beautifully decorated homes, Christmas lights, shoppers filling the stores, and the traditional Christmas trees. The San Bernardino County fire department wants to keep you and your home safe and would like to remind you of a few tips for before and after Christmas. The first thing is keeping your tree properly watered to keep it from drying out if caught on fire a tree can burn with the flames spreading to a structure; your home.

Once your Christmas festivities are complete you should promptly and properly dispose of your naturally cut trees. Fire officials warn that dried-out trees are a fire danger and they should not be left in your home, garage, or even placed outdoors against your home. Plastic tree bags can be found at your local hardware stores and can help prevent a mess and make for easier disposal of your tree.

The fire department officials also urge residents to not burn Christmas trees in your home fireplace, these burns can be explosive; putting your family and property at risk. “The pitch in the wood creates huge, fast-moving sparks that can jump right out of the fireplace and into your room, or up the chimney and onto the shingles of your roof potentially causing a fire,” fire officials said in a news release.

There are many safe and responsible tree disposing options available to residents:

  •    Curbside pick-up: Many waste management providers will collect trees during regular pickup schedules the two weeks following Christmas. Check with your local provider for requirements and details.

 

  •    Drop-off recycling center: Some jurisdictions will have free drop-off locations and/or recycling containers. Check with your local government office for more information.

 

  •    Yard waste: Cut your tree to fit loosely into your yard waste container.
  •    Mulch: A Christmas tree and its branches can be removed, chipped, and used as mulch.

 

Residents in the following areas have these methods of disposal available to them for Christmas tree removal and recycling:

  •         Valley, High Desert, and Mountain residents serviced by Burrtec Waste

o   Burrtec will collect and recycle Christmas trees from single-family residences. Place trees curbside during the period after Christmas (Dec. 26 through Jan. 6, 2017) on normal collection day.
