Christmas Tree Disposal in Lake Forest

How and when you can send that noble tree to the trash.

Once Christmas is over, what's to be done with that tree? Waste Management of Orange County has a plan:

From Dec. 26-Jan. 1, 2013, you can leave your undecorated tree at the curb near your trash cans on your regular pickup day. Make sure that all decorations—lights, tinsel and ornaments—and the tree stand are off of it. If your tree is taller than 6 feet, it must be cut in half.

Flocked trees will be collected but not recycled.

Another option for residents is cutting their trees and putting them in the waste bin during or after holiday tree collection. For more information, click here.
