The Chicago Park District will again be collecting trees for recycling and offering free mulch.
Beginning Saturday, Jan. 5, and continuing through Friday, Jan. 18, residents can take their real Christmas trees -- not the artificial variety -- to about two dozen locations at city parks to be chipped and turned to mulch.
The mulch will be available for free to residents on a limited basis at the tree recycling locations beginning Jan. 11.
Before dropping off a tree, all ornaments, lights and stands should be removed as the sites are not able to accept other materials, such as decorations, wreaths, garland or household recyclables.
