Agromin To Recycle Thousands Of Christmas Trees After The Holidays

Once the holidays are over, Oxnard-based composter Agromin will receive thousands of Christmas trees collected by waste haulers. The trees will be composted into mulch and soil amendments for use by growers, landscapers and consumers.

To help make the tree collection process run smoother, tree owners are asked to cut up their Christmas trees so limbs and branches fit in their green waste recycling barrel. Waste haulers will collect the trees on regular waste pick-up days and deliver them to Agromin.

After trees reach Agromin, any remaining tree decorations are removed by hand. The trees are ground and then composted over 60 to 90 days in long windrows.

Residents also have the option of dropping off their trees at two Agromin locations:

Agromin Composting Facility - 6859 Arnold Rd., Oxnard (Hours: Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Saturday, 7:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.)

Agromin Corporate Office – 201 Kinetic Dr. Oxnard (Hours: Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.)

Residents who drop off their trees will receive a free bag of potting mix. Flocked and unflocked trees are accepted.
