1. CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
LA Sanitation has curbside collection for Christmas trees to make it convenient to properly and safely recycle your tree. There are several options.
If your Christmas tree is too big to cut and place inside the green waste bin, simply place the tree next to your green waste bin on collection day.
How to Recycle your Christmas tree and put in the green bin:
- REMOVE all ornaments, decorations, tinsels and stand from the tree.
- CUT the tree into pieces, if needed, to fit into green bin.
- PLACE the tree pieces inside the green bin and put out for regular pick-up on collection day.
*Flock or artificial trees can’t be recycled – place them in the black container.
Collected Christmas trees will be recycled into compost and mulch that is available to residents for free.
In addition, holiday wrapping paper, cartons, cardboard, Styrofoam® and other expanded polystyrene products, plastics and gift boxes are also recyclable and should be placed in the blue bin. However, it is illegal to place household hazardous waste, such as electronics (i.e. televisions and computers) and batteries into the collection bins. Please take those items to one of seven S.A.F.E. Centers for safe disposal and recycling.
