Christmas Tree Recycling

When the holidays are over, recycle your tree so it can be used all year long!

Downers Grove Park District will host two drop-off sites for residents who would like to recycle their Christmas Trees between December 26, 2013 and January 13, 2014. Trees are turned into chips which will be used as mulch within parks and landscaping projects. There will be one drop-off location at Whitlock Park, located at 40th & Fairview, in the parking lot off of Fairview and another drop-off location at McCollum Park, located at 6801 S. Main Street, in the north parking lot off of 67th Street.

 

Last year, the Downers Grove Park District chipped 120 trees to be used as mulch within the Park District. For more information on the Park District’s tree recycling program, call (630) 963-1304. To see other Park District green initiatives, visit dgparks.org.
