Full Notification

Gardena residents can have their Christmas trees recycled by Waste Resources from now until January 6th!

A separate Waste Resources truck will pick up your tree on the same day as your regular trash collection.

Don’t put your tree in your green cart; place your tree curbside the same day as your trash pick-up (by 7am)

All decorations (ornaments, tinsel, etc.) and metal or plastic stands must be removed (wooden tree stands are okay)

DO NOT place your tree in a bag (i.e. plastic trash bags)

Trees over eight feet tall should be cut in half

Flocked trees are okay

Call Waste Resources at 888-467-7600 with any questions about this service.  Following these simple steps will ensure that your trees will be used as mulch or for compost that may grow new trees for future Christmases!
