The Centre Region Council of Governments is holding a free advanced Christmas tree recycling collection for residential customers in Benner, College, Ferguson, Harris and Patton townships Monday, Jan. 9, to Friday, Jan. 13, on regular collection day.
No bags or decorations are permitted on trees.
Trees will be taken to the State College Borough Compost Facility and made into mulch. After Jan. 13, trees will be included in normal trash pickup.
Through early February, College Township road crews will collect trees for recycling throughout College Township, weather permitting.
Also, all Centre County Recycling and Refuse Authority curbside recycling customers can recycle their gift boxes, non-metallic wrapping and tissue paper with their curbside recyclables. Customers should bag these items with mixed paper.
Non-curbside customers wishing to recycle these items can drop them off in ‘Mixed Paper’ recycling containers
