While people slowly get out of Christmas mode, the city now has numerous sites open to drop-off Christmas trees.
The “Let’s Chip In” program has been around since 1991 and has seen 381,178 trees recycled.
Prior to dropping-off trees at the approved locations, you must remove all decorations, tinsel, stands and plastic tree bags.
The program runs from Dec. 27 to Jan. 31.
