Recycle Christmas Trees In Laguna Beach 2022: Waste Management

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — Is it time to undeck your halls? Chances are your Christmas tree now lacks its luster, is shedding needles, or looks more like a dead stick. As difficult as it is to say "goodbye" to our annual Christmas totems, now is the time to stow away your ornaments and tinsel for another day and set your tree outside to be recycled.

Residents of Laguna Beach have three weeks to recycle their dried-out Christmas trees, according to Waste Management. The recycling and waste collection service for much or Orange County described the process for proper Christmas tree recycling.

Laguna Beach's trash hauler collects and recycles Christmas trees for the first three weeks following Christmas (flocked Christmas trees will be collected but cannot be recycled), a spokesperson said. This service is provided on the regular trash collection day. Please follow these easy steps:

• Remove all decorations including tinsel, lights, ornaments, and stands
• Cut trees taller than six feet (6') in half
• Place the tree at the curb on your regular service day

"Please place your tree curbside on your service day and our tree collectors will come by in a separate truck, there is no need to call the office," a spokesperson said.
