The program operates with the help of Allegheny Green, a county environmental initiative. Eventually, the old trees will be turned into mulch and used in nine parks in the region.

All tinsel and decorations must be removed from trees before they are deposited at the sites.

The drop-off points are located in Boyce, North, South and Settler’s Cabin parks by the parks’ swimming pools. Friday, Jan. 23, is the last day to unload Christmas trees.
