Safety Tips

• Use of lights that produce low heat, such as miniature lights, will reduce drying of the tree.

• Always inspect light sets prior to placing them on the tree. If worn, replace with a new set.

• Do not overload electrical circuits.

• Always turn off the lights when leaving the house or when going to bed.

• Monitor the tree for freshness. After Christmas or if the tree is dry, remove it from the house.

• Find a recycling program near you.

• Never burn any part of a Christmas Tree in a wood stove or fireplace.
