As the holidays come to a close, remember to properly plan to have your holiday tree recycled the zero-waste way, by turning it into mulch or compost. Only real trees, without decorations, lights, stands, tinsel and flocking can be recycled and composted.  

Here are Santa Rosa residents' options to recycle your holiday tree.

Curbside Residential Collection

• Trees may be placed on your curb the night before your regular collection day from Dec. 26, 2022 to Jan. 6, 2023. Flocked trees will not be recycled. Trees over six (6) feet should be cut in half in order to fit in the compost cart.  
• For curbside tree recycling on regular collection days outside of the dates above, please cut down unflocked trees free of all accessories and decorations to fit inside your green organics bin with the lid closed. Do not bag your tree!
