CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS NEXT WEEK AND THEN 'TREECYCLE' (VIDEO) - While there's less than a week until Christmas, it's never too early to think about what to do with your fresh-cut Christmas tree after the holiday ends and the gifts are put away. Tucson's "TreeCycle" program will open again this year to help you turn your tree into something greener when you're done with it. You can take it off its stand and strip off all the lights, tinsel, and other decorations and drop off your bare tree at one of the many TreeCycle locations to help create compost to nourish our community's vegetation. The program begins Thursday, Dec. 26, and continues through Monday, Jan. 20. You can find a list of drop-off sites by following the link below. The City of Tucson will not collect Christmas trees from curbs and alleys.
