Trees
- When purchasing an artificial tree, look for the label “Fire Resistant.”
- When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, needles are hard to pull from branches and when bent between your fingers, needles do not break. The trunk butt of a fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when tapped on the ground, the tree should not lose many needles.
- When setting up a tree at home, place it away from fireplaces, radiators or portable heaters. Place the tree out of the way of traffic and do not block doorways.
- Cut a few inches off the trunk of your tree to expose the fresh wood. This allows for better water absorption and will help to keep your tree from drying out and becoming a fire hazard.
- Be sure to keep the stand filled with water, because heated rooms can dry live trees out rapidly.
Lights
- Check all tree lights-even if you’ve just purchased them- before hanging them on your tree. Make sure all the bulbs work and that there are no frayed wires, broken sockets or loose connections.
- Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. The tree can become charged with electricity from faulty lights, and a person touching a branch could be electrocuted.
- Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples, not nails or tacks. Never pull or tug lights to remove them.
- Plug all outdoor electric decorations into circuits with ground fault circuit interrupters to avoid potential shocks.
- Turn off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. The lights could short out and start a fire.
Decorations
- Use only non-combustible or flame-resistant materials to trim a tree. Choose tinsel or artificial icicles of plastic or nonleaded metals.
- Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. Always use non-flammable holders, and place candles where they will not be knocked down.
- In homes with small children, take special care to avoid decorations that are sharp or breakable. Keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing or inhaling small pieces. Avoid trimmings that resemble candy or food that may tempt a young child to eat them.
- Wear gloves to avoid eye and skin irritation while decorating with spun glass “angel hair.” Follow container directions carefully to avoid lung irritation while decorating with artificial snow sprays.
Remove all wrapping papers, bags, paper, ribbons and bows from tree and fireplace areas after gifts are opened. These items can pose suffocation and choking hazards to a small child or can cause a fire if near flame.

I’m sure there’s a lot of you who, like me, want to do your part to help keep Texas beautiful.
However, I am having lots of confusion as to what is supposed to go into which can, speficially the paper products.
Tonight at the Amberwood Neighborhood Meeting, I got a chance to ask one of the folks in charge of the pilot program some specific questions.
Let me pass these tips on to you, in case some of you were wondering the same things:
- Paper to be recycled and other paper products that do not have food on them go in ’single stream recycling’ (brown/tan lid)
- Paper to be recycled which has been partially wet down and paper products with a tiny little bit of food on them go in the compost (green lid)
- If you shred your recycling paper, put it in a PAPER bag so it does not blow around in the wind. DO NOT PUT IT IN A PLASTIC BAG!!!!
- Most paper towel can go into the compostables because that’s technically soiled paper.
- However remember that anything ’stinky’ needs to go into the trash, not the recycling bins.
- Stop buying styrofoam, since we can’t recycle that
More specific information can be found on top of the can, on the fliers they passed out, or on their website www.texasdisposal.com/kylerecycles.htm
