Here's Where To Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Allegheny County

PITTSBURGH, PA — It's a sad thought, but it soon will be time to take the decorations off of that magnificent Christmas tree and discard it. Where to take it, though?

The Allegheny County Parks Department again is offering its annual Christmas tree recylcing program from Dec. 26 through Jan. 14 from 8 a.m. until dusk.

All lights, decorations, tinsel and stands must be removed from trees prior to drop-off. Trees will be mulched and used in the county parks. Drop-off locations are:

• Boyce Park: Soccer Fields Parking Lot

• Deer Lakes Park: Veterans Shelter Parking Lot

• Harrison Hills Park: Parking Lot at Chipmunk Drive & Cottontail Drive

• Hartwood Acres Park: Middle Road Parking Lot

• North Park: Swimming Pool Parking Lot

• Round Hill Park: Alfalfa Shelter Parking Lot

• Settlers Cabin Park: Wave Pool Parking Lot

• South Park: Wave Pool Parking Lot

• White Oak Park: Wedding Garden Parking Lot

During the 2021-22 program, over 2,960 trees were received and recycled, with the resulting mulch used for various purposes throughout the park system’s 12,000-plus acres.
