Christmas tree disposal [Zurich area]

The twelve days of Christmas are nearly over and it's time to bid a sad farewell to my Christmas tree.

In Zürich, what are the rules and arrangements for disposal of one's weihnachtsbaum?

Merci!

You mean you're NOT supposed to just toss it out the window?



Dang. I shouldn't have trusted those IKEA commercials ...
