It’s that time of year again. The holidays are over and it’s time to take down the holiday decorations. The joy and coziness that the decorations have provided for the last month or so are now eliminated because you have the unfortunate task of taking them down and storing them.
If you arm yourself with the proper storage products, you will not have a clutter of decorations that are a mess to deal with and you’ll find that you decrease the likelihood of having to purchase decorations to replace broken ones. Proper organization and storage will make it easier to put up your decorations for the 2012 holidays.
NOTE: All of the products I am recommending can be found at The Container Store. I picked one store to make it easy for you to get the products you need (who wants to go driving all over town to buy products?). They also have a click and pickup service where you can order online and they will pull your order and have it ready for you at the registers (a huge time saver). If you don’t have a Container Store in your area, you can also order online.

Trees – Live
Check with your garbage service, as they may pick up your tree right outside your home. There may also be places in your area where you can drop off trees. Most recycled trees are taken to a waste facility where they are run through a grinder and turned into mulch to use as compost in lawns and gardens.
