Free curbside Christmas tree recycling will be made available this holiday season to all residents located in the Santa Clarita city limits.

Provided by the city of Santa Clarita and Waste Management, trees will be collected on trash day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If a tree is not out for collection by the time the trucks come by for service, the trees will be collected the following trash day.

Single-family residents should leave their trees at the curb on their regular trash collection days . Multi-family residents can place their trees alongside the trash bins of their complex.

The city asks that residents remove all decorative materials such as ornaments, tinsel and lights before placing them outside for collection. All recycled trees are used as soil amendment, compost or are bagged for mulch.

Flocked Christmas trees will be collected if left outside for pick-up, but will not be recycled. Trees that are over six feet tall will also be collected in a separate truck.

The tree collection program will run through January 14, 2017. For more information on Christmas tree recycling, call the city’s Environmental Services Division at (661) 286-4098.
