BERNALILLO COUNTY, N.M. — It’s about that time when you’re thinking of putting away your Christmas decorations which may include a real Christmas tree.

If you have a real tree, Bernalillo County are offering options for recycling it. They call it “treecycling” and it’s available through Jan. 15 every day (except Sunday) at these locations:

• Paradise Hills Little League Park
• East Mountain Transfer Station
• Former Bernalillo County Housing Department (vacant lot)
• Ben Greiner Field

Before you go, make sure you strip your tree down. The same applies with the City of Albuquerque program with PNM at these three locations through Jan. 8:

• Eagle Rock Convenience Center, 6301 Eagle Rock NE (505-768-3925)
• Ladera Golf Course, 3401 Ladera NW (505-836-4449)
• Montessa Park Convenience Center, 3512 Los Picaros SE (505-768-3930; closed on Thursdays and Friday)

Each location is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The city is only taking up to five trees per person.

All of these trees will be turned into mulch that anyone can pick up for free.
