When you unstring your lights and pack up the ornaments this year, don’t you dare dream of tossing your tree on the streets!
The Philadelphia Christmas Tree recycling is back.
There is no curbside collection of Christmas trees for treecycling purposes. (Instead, those Christmas trees left on the curb will headed to a sad ending at the landfill).
Avoid water and air pollution from tree burning and landfills, and instead take advantage of groups repurposing trees for chips to beautify the local parks of Philadelphia with that holiday spirit.
Good news for you: In 2015, the city of Philadelphia is offering 23 drop-off locations for Christmas tree recycling. The drop-off locations will be open from on Saturday January 10 & Saturday January 17, 2015 from 9am-3pm.
Here are the locations to haul your trees (sans holly):
