Christmas Tree Recycling Offered

Details

Residents in single-family homes can recycle their Christmas trees beginning Friday, December 26 through Friday, January 16, by placing them at the curb for pick-up by 7 a.m. on their trash collection days. The trees will be composted or used for the Los Angeles County Sanitation District’s daily landfill cover. 

Trees to be recycled should not contain any lights, tinsel, nails, stands, or decorations, and should not be placed in bags. Trees more than 6 feet tall should be cut in half. Artificial or flocked trees will not be accepted.

Businesses in Cerritos or residents living in apartments or condominiums can place trees next to their trash bin for collection.
