It's always hard to say goodbye, even if it's to a Christmas tree.

Waste Management will collect and recycle Lake Forest Christmas trees for three weeks following Dec. 25 on regular trash collection day.

Trees taller than six feet must be cut in half.

Remove all decoration including tinsel, lights, ornaments and tree stands.

Place the tree at the curb.

Flocked trees will be collected, but cannot be recycled.

If you have questions, you can call Waste Management of Orange County at 714-558-7761, 949-642-1191 or 562-694-3730.
