Trees can be dropped off at the Streets Department Sanitation Convenience Centers, which are open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
There will also be 23 designated locations to drop off Christmas trees throughout the city on Saturday, Jan. 9 and Jan. 16 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Drop-offs are also being offered at some neighborhood civic associations.
Trees with decorations cannot be recycled.
