Now that Christmas is over, a reminder not to toss your tree in the garbage–recycle it.
Unfortunately you can’t drop your tree on the curb for pickup, it must be brought to one of the nine sites so it can be chipped by the City.
Officials say this program has helped save a lot of unnecessary waste from going to the landfill.
The city says one helpful tip is to keep your trees bare, removing all ornaments and plastic tree wrap before dropping off trees at the collection site.
You can see a list of drop-off sites below.
