CITY URGES XMAS TREE RECYCLING
As many Chicagoans begin taking down their Christmas decorations, the city is urging them to recycle their holiday trees instead of stuffing them in trash cans.
From Jan. 6 to Jan. 20, residents can drop off their trees at 25 locations around the city. The trees will then be turned into mulch that residents can pick up for free starting Jan. 8 at six locations.
Here are the recycling locations. Residents can pick up free mulch at places marked with an asterisk.
