Want to do the environmentally correct thing with your Christmas tree? Mulch it.
Starting at 10 a.m. Monday, county residents can take trees to Homestead Gardens in Davidsonville, where a Department of Public Works tree chopper will grind it to mulch for free. Residents then can take home a bag filled with 2 cubic feet of mulch, or fill up the bed of a pickup truck if they want.
County Executive Robert R. Neall hailed the mulching process as a way to save landfill space. The unused Christmas tree mulch will be donated by Homestead Gardens to the county for use on county-maintained grounds.
