Description
Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling encourage everyone to recycle their LIVE Christmas trees by taking it to one of the many drop-off sites located throughout Westmoreland County.
Proper disposal of a real tree is beneficial to the environment. In most cases, real trees thrown away with the garbage end up taking up space in a landfill. Landfills are designed as a storage facility for garbage, not a site for decomposition. However, recycling your Christmas tree returns it to nature. The trees will be chipped into mulch and used to beautify community parks, eventually decomposing into valuable humus to nourish and renew the soil.
There is NO COST to recycle your Christmas tree; however, the Murrysville-Export Rotary collects donations to fund their own projects at the site they host.
ALL LOCATIONS REQUIRE THAT TREES ARE COMPLETELY BARE OF ALL DECORATIONS AND LIGHTS WHEN DROPPED OFF. THIS INCLUDES ANY TREE BAGS OR WRAPPINGSUSED TO TRANSPORT THE TREE TO THE DROP-OFF SITE.
Sponsors of this year's Christmas tree recycling program include Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling, James A. Rutter Company in Murrysville, Penn Township, and the Borough of Youngwood.
"Christmas trees are a time-honored tradition along with being a beautiful addition to any holiday decor. Don't let their beauty end in a landfill. Remember that Christmas is a time for giving. When the season ends, give back to our earth and please take your Chrisma tree to any of the Tree-cycling drop-off location around the County and let your trees beauty go full circle by giving it back to the earth.: - Mike Skapura, Executive Directo of Westmoreland Cleanways and Recycling
