Christmas Tree Recycling Collection The Pennsylvania Resources Council (PRC), in partnership with the Union Project, Construction Junction, and the City of Pittsburgh, is hosting a Christmas tree recycling collection on SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 2006 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Emery Tree Service, the event sponsor, will recycle all of the trees into mulch. During that timeframe, individuals are invited to drop off their real Christmas trees at Construction Junction, 214 N. Lexington Street in the Point Breeze section of Pittsburgh. A $1 fee per tree will be charged to help defray the costs of the event. Christmas trees must be free of ornaments and loose or tied with a string when dropped off. Absolutely no trees in plastic bags will be accepted. The National Christmas Tree Association estimates 25-30 million trees are sold in the U.S. each year. Recycling diverts these trees from the landfill, saving space for items that cannot be reused or recycled. Call PRC at (412) 488-7490 or visit www.prc.org <http://www.prc.org> for more information. Please send this information out to your subscribers. Thank you, Sarah Alessio Pennsylvania Resources Council phone: (412) 431-4449 x236 saraha@ccicenter.org
