An alternative to putting your tree into a landfill is to just put
it in your backyard until spring. It provides nice cover for birds
in times of inclement weather, and the needles will fall off and
provide nice compost for your soil. You can also decorate it.
You can then drop it off at the recycling center in the spring,
where it will be mulched and composted.

Christmas trees will be collected with rubbish. Citizens should
set trees out on rubbish collection day at their scheduled
collection site. Citizens who wish to drop off their tree may
take it to one of the following Streets Department Sanitation
Convenience Centers. Sanitation Convenience Centers are open
8:00 am to 6:00 pm, from Monday through Saturday. Southwest
Philadelphia 1600 S. 51st St., off Grays Ave. Southwest
Philadelphia 3033 S. 63rd St. (entrance on 61st St. side) I
called the Streets Department because the website doesn't say what
they are going to do with the trees. I was told that 63rd Street
is the only location from which the trees will be recycled.
Apparently all other drop-off sites are just gathering locations
before they landfill the trees with the garbage. Bruce McCullough
