27 Jan '20

Hi HPers, Has anyone attended the Tinkergarten programs either at HP or another Pittsburgh park? Any feedback on the program or what you or your little one thought of the program? How was the structure? Do the kids play together? How many kids are in the group, etc? Thanks! Shannon -- ------- Shannon Marie Anglero

Christmas Tree Recycling in Highland Park
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 26 Jan '20

26 Jan '20

The City of Pittsburgh Christmas Tree Recycling program's twelve drop-off locations are open from December 26 to January 26. The program empowers residents to have their trees recycled rather than sent to a landfill, which happens when they are placed at the curb. *In Highland Park, you can drop off your tree at the parking lot next to the volleyball courts.* Last year, the city hosted ten drop-off sites and collected more than 21 tons of trees. This year, the Forestry Division and Bureau of Environmental Services within the Department of Public Works will collaborate to host twelve drop-off sites. The trees collected this winter will again be chipped into pine mulch and made available to the public for free this spring. The tree recycling program dovetails with the city’s Climate Action Plan <http://apps.pittsburghpa.gov/redtail/images/645_PCAP_3.0_Presentation.pdf>, which defines milestones toward zero waste goals. The city’s Cable Channel created a brief public service announcement to remind residents that all ornaments, netting, tinsel and tree stands must be removed before the tree is dropped off: https://youtu.be/6Rgr1dQ1u6E <https://youtu.be/6Rgr1dQ1u6E> Residents may call 311 or visit the website here for more information <http://pittsburghpa.gov/dpw/xmas-tree-recycling>. The website features a map to help residents find their most convenient drop-off location. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
