Christmas tree recycling program

Got a real Christmas tree (people still do that, right?)? Don’t throw that thing in the alley! Richmond City offers a tree recycling program:

City residents are invited to recycle their Christmas trees by having the city chip them into mulch for use in landscaping.

“Bring One for the Chipper 2010” will take place at the Parker Field Annex, 1710 Robin Hood Rd., at the corner of Robin Hood Rd. and N. Boulevard across from the Arthur Ashe Center, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on January 15. Also, Christmas trees can be dropped off from December 26 through January 14 at the East Richmond Road Convenience Center, 3800 East Richmond Rd. and the Richmond Southside Transfer Station, 3520 N. Hopkins Rd.
