An estimated 6 million tons of trash will be generated across the nation over the holiday season.  In fact, 38,000 miles of ribbon alone will be thrown out this Christmas. That’s enough to tie a bow around the Earth!  The Amador County Waste Management Department has some helpful holiday waste management tips for us all. For starters – you can recycle your Christmas tree! Once the big day has passed and the ornaments are packed, load up your tree and drop it off at one of several convenient locations for recycling. Sponsored by Amador Disposal Service, ACES Waste Services Inc., and Amador County Waste Management Department, free Christmas tree recycling will be available the day after Christmas through the entire month of January.
