Culver City Observer -

The Culver City Public Works Department wants to share the following tips for holiday tree disposal whether you are putting it out for collection or dropping it off at one of the four designated locations listed below:

• Remove all ornaments, decorations, tinsel and stands from the tree;

• Flocked or artificial trees cannot be composted, place them in your black container (cutting it into pieces if necessary to fit).

Option 1: REGULAR ORGANICS COLLECTION

If residents wish to put their tree out for collection at their residence, please:

• Place the tree inside the green bin (cutting it into pieces if necessary to fit) and put out for regular pick-up; or

• Cut taller trees into 4-feet pieces and place at your pick-up location (curbside or alley) on the day of your regularly scheduled organics collection

Option 2: PARK-YOUR-TREE PROGRAM

Residents may drop off their (non-flocked, non-artificial) tree at one of the following locations for composting:

• Fox Hills Park

• Syd Kronenthal Park

• Culver West Park

• Veterans Park

If you are dropping off your trees, be sure to wear face coverings and use physical distancing of at least 6 feet. To learn more about Culver City Trash & Recycling Services, visit culvercity.org/Services/Trash-Recycling or contact Public Works Department at (310) 253-6400.
