Chicago’s annual tree recycling program kicks off Saturday and runs through Jan. 21 at 26 locations across the city. Make sure to remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel and tree stands before dropping off a tree. Any plastic bags used to transport trees should also be removed. (No fake/plastic trees are accepted). The trees will be turned into mulch, for use in local parks and forests. People can even pick up free mulch for home use at six of the locations, starting Jan. 10. You can find the location list on the Recycle By City website. #chicago #visitchicago #chicagotravel #chicagotrip #chicagousa
