Neighbors, I just wanted to encourage everyone to read Brian O'Neill's column discussing the good effects of our tree recycling efforts and to raise awareness that, as a direct result, there will be free mulch available for the next 3 Saturdays (see below for info). Highland Park was the top drop off spot for trees this year: way to go!


"This is an odd week to be com­plain­ing about the city’s ef­forts, as it began offering free mulch to the city’s gar­den­ers Satur­day, the re­sult of haul­ing away and grind­ing up more than 2,000 Christmas trees that the citizenry dropped off at 10 sites last win­ter. That di­verted more than 21 tons from the land­fill, where it would have been bur­ied and cre­ated meth­ane. So it’s great that the mulch might pro­tect to­ma­toes and erad­i­cate weeds in­stead. The city hopes it has enough mulch to of­fer it free to Pitts­burgh res­i­dents the next three Satur­day morn­ings at the Forestry Division headquarters off Stan­ton Avenue in High­land Park.

But there are are about 115,000 sin­gle-fam­ily homes in Pitts­burgh. If even half of them had Christ­mas trees, that means about 95 per­cent of them were left at the curb last win­ter with the trash.

Teresa Brad­ley, who be­came the city’s re­cy­cling su­per­vi­sor only a cou­ple of months be­fore the tree-re­trieval pro­gram be­gan, ac­knowl­edges, “All we can do is try to chip away at these things.” She likes the sug­ges­tion of get­ting the word out next Christ­mas sea­son about drop­off sites by con­tact­ing churches and tree ven­dors be­fore­hand."

Thanks for supporting the Girl Scout tree recycling program!
