Recycle Your Christmas Trees!

December 28, 2010

Santa Claus working hard to recycle.

The City of Santa Clarita offers free curbside Christmas tree recycling every year. All recycled trees are used as soil amendment, compost, or bagged for mulch.

All single family and multi-family residents can have their Christmas trees picked up until January 8, 2011. Single family residents should place their trees at the curb on their regular collection day during the two weeks following Christmas. Multi-family residents should contact their building manager to see if there is a designated area for the trees. Typically you can place your trees adjacent to the refuse bins in your complex.

  • No ornaments, tinsel or lights
  • No nails or tree stands

You may also drop-off your Christmas tree at Waste Management’s yard, which is located at 25772 Springbrook Road. Their yard is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. 

For any questions, you can contact Environmental Services at 286-4098.

Inerested artists should submit examples of their work (photocopies or photographs) by January 17 for consideration. Final submissions are due February 25. Submissions should be mailed to:
