Christmas quickly came and went this year. It may seem like you just finished decorating your tree, and now it's time to take it down.
The city is offering a program to help you dispose of your Christmas tree in an environmentally friendly way.
The Streets Department announced last week that its 27-year-old "Residential Christmas Tree Recycling Program" will run from Jan. 4 through Jan. 16.
Trees can be dropped off at the Streets Department Sanitation Convenience Centers, which are open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There will also be 23 designated locations to drop off Christmas trees throughout the city on Saturday, Jan. 9 and Jan. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Drop-offs are also being offered at some neighborhood civic associations.
Trees with decorations cannot be recycled.
More information on tree recycling can be found here.
