How To Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Malibu

MALIBU, CA — Now that Christmas has passed, don't just toss or burn your Christmas trees. Residents in Culver City have several options to recycle their real trees for free.

In Malibu, residents can dispose of their trees in their green curbside bins, though trees must be cut to fit inside the bins.

Whole trees will be accepted at the Chili Cook-Off Lot, 23575 Civic Center Way, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Jan. 12. The trees will be recycled into mulch.

Residents are advised to remove ornaments and decorations, plastic containers, tree stands, nails and lights.

Flocked and artificial trees cannot be recycled and should either be reused for next year’s holiday or placed in garbage bins to be disposed of at a landfill.

Residents can also take their real trees to designated drop off areas through Jan. 24:
