Residents can recycle Christmas trees by placing the tree curbside on regular trash collection days, according to a news release.
“Trees over six Ft. must be cut in half when placed on the curb,” Desiree Leiva, a representative for Waste Management said. “If residents miss the deadlines for curbside pickup, or if residents are unable to cut a tree taller than six Ft. into smaller pieces, they can bring their tree to the Waste Management office.”
The trees will be repurposed into compost, mulch or ground cover to help preserve other natural resources and reduce waste, the press release explained.

Any trees that have been sprayed down with adhesives to make the trees appear to have snow covering them must be cut into small pieces and placed into the regular trash cart, according to Waste Management’s website.
“In general, all ornaments, including tinsel, decorations and metal and plastic tree stands, must be removed before the trees can be left at the curb or dropped off at a collection site,” the press release concluded.
The Waste Management office is located at 25772 Springbrook road, Santa Clarita.
