Ways to recycle your Christmas tree in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Now that Christmas is over, it's time to start thinking about what to do with your Christmas tree when you take it down. There are several options to recycle your tree.
The city will run its annual Christmas tree recycling program from Jan. 3 to Jan. 14. There are 13 locations people can drop off their trees from Jan. 7 through Jan. 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Trees can also be taken to the city's six Sanitation Convenience Centers, a full list is available here.
The city has a full breakdown of its recycling program and its holiday recycling guide.
If you leave your tree on the curb, it will be taken away as trash and not get composted.
Some goats would also love to munch on your tree.
The Philly Goat Project is collecting trees for its fifth annual tree-cycle fundraiser next month. For a $20 donation, you can drop off your tree at the Farm at Awbury in Germantown on Jan. 7 or Jan. 21.

The goats will either eat the trees or any trees that don't become a snack will be turned into wood chips to cover trails and gardens around the city.
