Recycling Your Christmas Tree

Today is the last day for you to take your Christmas tree for recycling at centers operated by the city of Los Angeles. These locations will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. In exchange for your tree, you will receive coupons for a bag of potting soil and azalea mix and discount tickets to see the IMAX film “Tropical Rain Forest.”

For residents who live in automated collection areas, trucks will pick up trees placed curbside on normal trash days next week.
