Recycling Your Christmas Tree

Councilmember LaBonge joined Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Council President Eric Garcetti today in announcing the city's new curbside Christmas tree recycling program.
There are several options for disposing of your tree after the holidays. You can cut it into pieces and place it in your green bin. If your Christmas tree is too big for that, simply place the tree next to your green waste bin on collection day.
You can also drop your tree at designated parks and fire stations. For more information on those locations, please click here. After collecting the trees, the city turns them into bark chips that are then available for residents to use in their gardens.
