The city has set up drop off points across San Diego to recycle Christmas trees that can be turned into tomorrow’s mulch, wood chips and compost. San Diego residents who already recycle their yard waste curbside can leave their bare trees on their curbs for the city to pick up. The remainder of San Diego residents can recycle their trees at 16 drop-off locations through Jan. 23. Trees sprayed with fake snow are accepted. Trees must be stripped of ornaments and lights. Recycling Christmas trees keeps them out of the Miramar landfill. “Green waste, such as yard clippings and other organic materials, including Christmas trees, have made up over 20 percent of the material buried in the landfill,” said Chris Gonaver, director of the Environmental Services Department. Recycling drop-off sites include: Mission Bay: SeaWorld Drive at Pacific Highway Ocean Beach: Robb Athletic Field Recreation Center, 2525 Bacon St. La Jolla: Kate Sessions Memorial Park, Soledad Road and Loring Street. University City: Swanson Pool, 3585 Governor Drive. For more information about recycling trees call (858) 694-7000 or visit sandiego.gov/environmental-services.
