How To Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Lake View
Your tree could become much-needed mulch in local parks.
CHICAGO, IL — The city's annual Holiday Tree Recycling Program will run from Jan. 6 through Jan. 20, at 25 locations citywide. Live holiday trees can be dropped off inside tree corrals set up at any one of the 25 designated Chicago Park District locations. Trees recycled through the program are turned into mulch and wood chips for Chicago Park Districts, as well as materials used by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District.
The holiday tree recycling program is not able to accept wreaths or garlands. Ornaments, lights, tinsel and tree stands must be removed before the tree is dropped off and trees should be removed from any bags when placed in the tree recycling corrals.
