Recycle Your Christmas Tree!

First off, we hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas weekend and spent some quality time with your families! We sure did!

And now that Christmas is over it's time to talk about what to do with your Christmas tree.

Did you know that Christmas trees are 100% recyclable? So whether you take it down the day after Christmas or leave it up until the New Year--let us haul your tree away to be recycled.

Over the next week and a half we can swing by your home, pick up your tree, and haul it out to the recycling center where the whole tree is grinded and reused. Wood chips are sent out to the Delano power plant to be used for electricity, and plant parts of the tree are grinded into mulch which is used in farm fields throughout Kern County.

So please don't dump your used Christmas tree in your back alley or in a landfill. 100% of Christmas trees can be recycled into renewable forms of energy. You can't get more environmentally-friendly than that!

Below is our pricing for the recycling pick-up service.

• Up to 8ft. trees = $20
• 8 - 10ft. trees = $30
• 10 ft. trees and up = $40

Call to schedule your pick-up today: 832-2870 or 427-7282

Happy New Year!

Caring For Your Alpine Christmas Tree

More than half of Americans put their Yule Tide spirit in full throttle right after Thanksgiving Day and purchase their Christmas tree that weekend. Sounds good to us! The sooner the better!

But how can one be sure your tree will make it to Christmas Day? Especially since once the trees are cut down they are technically dead, right?

Well, we have some helpful tips and tricks to ensure your Christmas tree lasts through Christmas Day (and even New Year’s!)

**But remember! Alpine Christmas Trees are freshly cut and delivered daily to our tree lots all over Bakersfield. Can't get any fresher than us unless you cut them down yourselves! :)

Here are some tips and tricks for caring for your Christmas tree:

• As soon as you get home put hot water in the water stand—as hot as you can get from the tap is the best.
• A little known trick is to drop an aspirin and tablespoon of sugar in your tree's water stand.
• Water your tree on a regular basis.
• Putting Christmas lights on your tree will not make it a fire hazard but here are some things that will cause your tree to catch flames:
• Open flames such as candles & fire from fireplace (keep your tree clear from both.)
• Old electrical cords that are torn and frayed can be a fire hazard (if you have these be sure to dispose of them immediately.)

Once your tree is up and properly cared for you can decorate and enjoy through December!

(Don’t forget to take a quick snap shot of your beautiful tree and submit it in our Christmas Tree Decorating Photo Contest. See this post for details.)
