Is there anywhere a Philadelphia resident can dispose of brush, tree trimmings, etc. other than throwing it in the trash?
Fairmount Park Organic Recycling Center only accepts registered businesses, and they must pay a fee.
Answer
Since I don't live in Philadelphia, I'm trying to check in with other staff who do live here, and will pass on any information that I get from them.
However, I did find this blog post that may help you. It's from Green Philly Blog

Hope this helps you. You can also contact the city directly by dialing 311.
