Christmas Trees Can Be Recycled
To help reduce post-holiday waste, the Ventura County Solid Waste Management Department and the city of Fillmore are offering residents an opportunity to recycle their Christmas trees.
If residents do not have a regular yard debris recycling program, trees can be dropped off at three sites: the Ojai Valley Recycling Center at Old Baldwin Road from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; the Simi Valley Landfill at 2801 Madera Road from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
For Fillmore residents, the city is offering a drop-off site at the southeast corner of Main and Mountain View; the site will be available until the end of the first week of January.
Departments request that all ornaments, nails, tinsel and stands be removed from trees, including any metal-support rod inserted into the tree trunk.
For more information call Ventura County recycling information at (805) 654-3935; Fillmore residents should call (805) 524-3701.
