Putting Christmas Trees to Good Use

Christmas trees may be left for curbside pickup or taken to any of several city disposal areas or one of two countywide mulching centers, shown at right. County centers will provide bags for taking mulch home; you must provide your own bag at a city center. Please remove stands, decorations and nails from trees.

The addresses by city given below are for residents of multifamily housing or anyone wanting mulch.

The Orange County Integrated Waste Management Department is sponsoring a tree recycling program for all residents. Services will be offered on Jan. 8 and 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
