RANCHO PALOS VERDES, CA — Now that the holiday has passed, all Rancho Palos Verdes residents are encouraged to recycle their Christmas trees.
How To Dispose Of Your Holiday Tree
Prepare your tree for collection by removing all plastic containers, metal stands and bars, ornaments, lights and the bulk of tinsel or garland. There's no need to cut the tree into smaller pieces (unless it’s over 6 feet tall).
Flocked trees, or trees coated with a fire retardant, will be accepted. Wreaths and other holiday foliage will be accepted.
