He says the trees they collect will be recycled. “Most of them go to the City drop-off sites and they get chipped up for mulch that residents can load up and use for their landscapes.” Rushman says they have collected thousands of trees over the past eight years.
Collection dates are December 26, 30 and 31 and January 1,6,7 and 13.
