Recycle Your Christmas Tree Sunday In Chestnut Hill

Each year in December, many families bring evergreen trees into their homes to celebrate Christmas. Often those trees get thrown out and put in landfills, which kind of goes agaisnt being "ever green."

So stay green this year by recycling your tree in Chestnut Hill Sunday morning.

The 2017 TreeCycling event is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Sunset Avenue entrance of Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, just off Germantown Avenue.

Recycling your tree is free, but a $10 donation is suggested to help fund the GRinCH (Green in Chestnut Hill) Green Warrior student grant program and the Weaver's Way Environment Committee grant program.

Trees will be chipped and used for mulch thanks to services donated by Bartlett Tree Experts.
