Here are more details on the annual Christmas Tree and Electronics Recycling event at Clark Park.

The Tree-cycling event, sponsored by UC Green and University City District (UCD), will be held on Saturday, Jan. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Clark Park (43rd and Chester). Christmas trees collected at the event will be turned into wood chips that will be used in neighborhood community gardens. A $10 donation per tree will go to support UC Green programs.

Also, if you have some old electronics piling up at your house, this is a great chance to get rid of them in an eco-friendly way. eForce Recycling folks will be at the park as well, so bring your old electronics along with your tree. You can drop off anything with a plug, except smoke detectors, large appliances, and projection TVs. Electronics recycling is free of charge, unless you want to bring an old CRT (cathode ray tube) TV or computer monitor. In this case it will cost $20. For more information, visit the eForce Recycling Facebook page or call 215-964-6665.

If you can’t make it to this event, please check other tree-cycling opportunities in the area.
