PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh residents who need to recycle their live Christmas tree have several drop-off options available through January.
From Dec. 26-Jan. 26, the city has 11 drop-off sites for live Christmas trees. Dropped off trees will later become pine mulch that’s available to the public for free in the spring.
