Verona residents looking to dispose of their old Christmas trees are encouraged to do so through Allegheny County’s recycling program.
Trees can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to dusk at nine regional county parks through Jan. 14.
Verona Chamber of Commerce officials said the borough’s annual tree burning event was stopped years ago, and the county’s recycling program is more environmentally friendly.
Tree recycling locations are as follows:
Boyce Park: Soccer fields parking lot
Deer Lakes Park: Veterans Shelter parking lot
Harrison Hills Park: Parking lot at intersection of Chipmunk Drive and Cottontail Drive
Hartwood Acres Park: Mansion 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: Chestnut Shelter parking lot
Murrysville: Windstream building, 4792 Old William Penn Highway. Murrysville-Export Rotary Club will accept trees at the parking lot from 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., Jan. 5 and 12.
