TREE RECYCLING PROGRAM
In an effort by the city of Los Angeles to save landfill space and valuable resources, Christmas trees collected will be recycled into wood chips for compost material. Trees will be collected at curbside from residents in the South Central Automated Refuse and Yard Trimmings Collection Pilot area and a portion of North Central Refuse Collection area. Others can pick up a free bag of compost when trees are dropped off between Saturday and Jan. 5 (excluding New Year’s Day) from 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at these locations:
