City encourages tree recycling

Culver City’s Park Your Tree Program is back this year. The program offers residents the opportunity to drop-off their old Holiday trees at the following parks for tree composting: Fox Hills Park at Green Valley Circle and Buckingham Parkway, Culver City, Veterans Memorial Park, 4117 Overland Ave., Syd Kronenthal Park, 3459 McManus Ave., and Culver West Alexander Park, 4162 Wade St., Los Angeles.

Environmental Programs and Operations staff will place large bins at each park site and regularly collect all trees placed in the containers starting Dec. 26 and throughout the month of January 2018. Trees should have all plastic containers, metal stands and bars, ornaments, lighting and the bulk of tinsel removed. Flocked trees, or trees coated with a fire retardant will be accepted.

Residents can also cut up their tree and place it in the Green/Organics waste bin for pickup on their regular refuse and recycling service day.
