  • The city is urging residents not to take their Christmas trees to the curb. The city hopes that residents will take the effort to pack up their trees - and maybe those of a neighbor or two as well - and take them to be recycled at one of three city collection areas: 63rd Street and Passyunk Avenue, in Southwest; State Road and Ashburner Street, in Northeast; Domino Lane near Umbria Street, in Roxborough. Two neighborhood groups also will be accepting trees for recycling - The Northern Liberties Neighbors Association will accept trees at Liberty Lands Park, near 3rd and Poplar Streets, on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Passyunk Square Civic Association will take trees Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon at Gold Star Park, on Wharton between 6th and 7th.
