Residents also can leave holiday trees out to be picked up during the city’s regular, monthly bulk trash collection scheduled for their areas. Anyone wanting a tree recycled must remove all stands, ornaments, tinsel and other decorations from it before dropping it off.

The holiday trees are ground and used for landscaping in order to help the environment.

“These trees are used for multiple purposes and by recycling them we are all doing our part to help the environment,” stated Johnny Morales, supervisor for Solid Waste - Recycling in Glendale’s Field Operations Department, in an email.
