LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Natural Christmas trees are beautiful, but with time, they can pose a fire danger. With the holiday season wrapping up it's time to think about disposing of your tree.
While some place their trees next to the trash, recyclers say it’s better to take it to a recycling center or drop-off location.
