We’ve enjoyed our figgy pudding, unadorned the mantle, and cleaned the last of the tinsel off the floor. Our halls are officially undecked and we’re left wondering how to dispose of tour previously beautiful Christmas trees. The city of Philadelphia’s Streets program has announced their 2012 Christmas Tree recycling program, providing residents an easy way to dispose of their holiday evergreens while helping the environment.
From January 3rd through January 14th you can easily drop your Christmas tree off at any one of the following eleven recycling sites throughout Philadelphia.
