Galveston County Daily News, Dec. 28, 2006Give the city and the environment a belated Christmas present by turning in your live Christmas tree for recycling and keeping it out of the landfill. The Galveston Partners in Composting is accepting trees until Jan. 12. Remove all the decorations, including lights, tinsel and metal stands, before dropping the tree off at the designated locations or placing it at the curb for pickup. The partnership is composed of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, the city of Galveston and Moody Gardens.
