Residents in Multnomah County can dispose of their Christmas trees by leaving them on the curb for a fee, or by cutting them into pieces and placing them in their compost bin, while those in Gresham can drop them off at the Metro Central Transfer Station.

New Year's Day has come and gone so it's time to ditch your brittle Christmas tree. Why it matters: Put an end to the piles of pine needles collecting in your living room by recycling trees or setting them out curbside on your regular trash collection day.

It's about that time when you're thinking of putting away your Christmas decorations which may include a real Christmas tree.

Recycle your Christmas tree at 75 drop-off locations across New York City during Mulchfest, which runs through Sunday, January 12.
