Spread cheer, recycling right this year holiday recycling reminders

The city will be closed on Mondays, December 25, and January 1, in observance of the Christmas and New Year's holidays. There will be no trash and recycling collections. Collections will be one day behind the regular schedule for the remainder of both weeks. Residents should set their materials out one day later than normal each week.

The annual residential Christmas Tree Recycling Program runs from Tuesday, January 2 through Saturday, January 13. The 35-year-old program provides residents with an environmentally friendly alternative for the disposal of live trees. Residents who wish to drop off their trees to be recycled may take them to any of the six Sanitation Convenience Centers listed below, open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday:

3033 S. 63rd Street
2601 W. Glenwood Avenue

Residents may also drop their trees off at 13 designated locations on Saturdays, January 6 and January 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
