KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) – When the holidays end, Kansas City-area residents are urged to ‘treecycle’ their natural holiday trees, wreaths, and garland.
Real Christmas Trees and greenery can be recycled at many locations around the metro. Many programs are free and open to residents regardless of where they live; some services are limited to city residents or specific neighborhoods.
