Residents Can Trade Yule Trees for Compost
- Share via
The Los Angeles Sanitation Department is urging residents to trade in their Christmas trees for a free bag of compost at a tree recycling drop-off point, including sites in Sunland and Encino.
City workers will accept trees at the seven sites until Jan. 5. The sites will be closed on New Year’s Day, a city spokeswoman said.
The city expects to turn more than 10,000 trees into compost and save 100 tons of landfill space, she said.
San Fernando Valley area sites, open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., are at the Balboa Sports Center, 17000 Burbank Blvd., and Sunland Park and Recreation Center, 8651 Foothill Blvd.
