Christmas Tree Pick Up In Los Alamitos, Seal Beach

LOS ALAMITOS, CA — Is that tree looking a little dry? Many Christmas trees were reported as dead within days of display, according to many Orange County residents. Now that Santa has come and gone, that tree looks less festive and more like a fire hazard.

If you're ready for Christmas tree recycling, Republic Services has your back. Your tree can be picked up curbside starting this week. Remember, following the Christmas holiday, Republic Services is on holiday schedule, with your trash pickup the day after your regular pickup day.

Republic Services has stated that they will be picking up Christmas trees from residential customers, curbside, on your service day for two weeks after December 25.

Trees need to be placed out before 6 a.m., free of ornaments, tree stands and no plastic bags.

Trees that are larger than five feet tall must be cut in half.

Residents can place their tree in the green waste cart, which is the preferred method of pick up, or at the curb. Flocked trees will need to be placed in the trash as they cannot be recycled.
