Recycling Christmas Trees In Paris
In our first apartment, on Rue Dupont des Loges, we found out the answer to that question when we saw an apartment owner across the street — five floors up (that is six floors in the U.S. as the French count the ground floor as zero) — literally threw his Christmas tree out the window, to plunge six stories down until it crashed on the sidewalk below. Thankfully, no cars or pedestrians were harmed. So now is the time to watch out above, as you never know if a Christmas tree is about to give you a surprise from the heavens above.
Recycling centers are open until January 24. Of course, you can do what many Parisians do, which is just throw your Christmas tree out your window. More information can be found here.
