Thank you 1st Ward! Stay tuned … there’s more.

[Alderman Daniel La Spata @AldermanLaSpata]

Thank you to all the 1st Ward residents who brought in broken holiday lights to be recycled! You have diverted an entire car's worth of lights from the landfill.

The city’s tree recycling event is underway! Drop yours off at one of 26 park district locations … naked, of course 😉

[Recycle by City ♻️ @recyclebycity]

🌲Make sure to strip down your tree, removing ornaments, tinsel and stand before #recycling/ composting.
😯Trees are turned into mulch. If not naked, it's common policy to take to them to a landfill rather than contaminate the mulch.
🚫 Fake and flocked trees aren't recyclable.
