As in the past, the Albemarle County Parks & Recreation Dept will host its annual Christmas Tree Recycling Program beginning December 26, 2010 through January 17, 2011. … By combining forces with the Charlottesville Curb Side Pick-Up Program, the two programs collected over 5600 trees last year, yielding approximately 268 cubic yards of mulch. … Shortly after the City’s curbside pick up, the County and City Parks & Recreation crews will team up to chip trees at Darden Towe Park. … The sites are as follows: Chris Greene Lake in Earlysville Crozet Park Darden Towe Park Greenwood Community Center Rivanna Solid Waste Authority Recycling Center on McIntire Road (*note: Sunday hours are 12:30 pm – 5:30 pm) Scottsville Community Center Walnut Creek Park The recycling location on McIntire Rd may be congested so please consider Darden Towe Park as an alternate location that is less congested and is suited better for large loads and contract haulers.
