Walk: Goodwill, Apple Cinema (Song Sung Blue)
Distance: 4.5 miles
Stripped Christmas trees are a common sight on San Francisco sidewalks every January. So common in fact, Ciwt never questioned until today what is actually done with them.
Turns out they are given a second act. After Recology crews pick them up on their regular routes, they are sent to commercial composting facilities (some owned and operated by Recology). There, rather than adding to landfill waste, they are chipped and ground with other organic materials (like food scraps) into high quality compost. This nurrient rich compost is then used for landscaping and soil improvement in parks and other green projects around the Bay Area.
Chip, Chip Hooray. Makes Ciwt even more fond of the Christmas trees she sees fully adorned in windows and on sidewalks during the holiday season
