Now that the holiday is over, it’s time to think about recycling that Christmas tree.

Starting today and running through Jan. 11, Long Beach residents can drop off their Christmas trees at any of a dozen locations to be recycled as part of the city’s annual Treecycling program.

Or, if waiting is an option, they can get free pick-up of trees from the city’s refuse and recycling service on Saturday, Jan. 12.

There’s a few rules though: All decorations and stands must be removed from the trees. Trees over 12 feet tall have to be cut in half. Flocked trees will be accepted.

Long Beach residents can drop off their trees at the following locations:

El Dorado Park, 2760 N. Studebaker Rd., South parking lot

CSULB Recycling Center, 5800 Atherton Blvd., east of Bellflower Boulevard

North Police Substation, 4891 N. Atlantic Ave., at Del Amo Boulevard; enter on 46th St.

Fire Station #14, 5200 Eliot St. at Colorado Avenue

City Operations Center Environmental Services Bureau, 2929 E. Willow St.

Bixby Park, First Street at Cherry Avenue

Cesar E. Chavez Park, Golden Shore Street at Fourth Street

Houghton Park, Myrtle Avenue at Harding Street

Hudson Park, Hill Street at Webster Avenue

Stearns Park, corner of 23rd Street and Roycroft Avenue

Veterans Park, 28th Street at Pine Avenue

Wardlow Park, Monlaco Road at Rutgers Avenue

Drop-off is available between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the weekend.

If residents opt for pick-up on Jan. 12, the tree must be out on the curb by 7 a.m. Just put it where recycling is normally collected, the city advised.

More information and a map of drop-off locations are available at the city of Long Beach’s website.
