Your guide to recycling Christmas trees in Redlands
From curbside pick-up to free drop-off options, the city of Redlands offers convenient ways for residents to recycle their holiday trees responsibly.
REDLANDS, Calif. — The city of Redlands has unveiled its annual Christmas tree recycling program, encouraging residents to dispose of their trees responsibly after the holiday season.
The program offers multiple options for single-family, multi-family, and commercial customers, with services available starting December 26.
Single-Family and Automated Residential Customers
Residents in single-family homes can place their unflocked trees curbside next to their trash containers or cut them into 18-inch sections to fit inside green waste bins, ensuring lids close completely.
Alternatively, trees can be dropped off at the free disposal site located at the City’s Corporate Yard at 1270 W. Park Ave., open daily from December 26, 2024, through January 10, 2025, from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Residents may also schedule a special haul by contacting customer service at (909) 798-7529; however, a $51.97 fee will apply for this service.
Commercial and Multi-Family Customers
For commercial and multi-family residences, unflocked trees should be placed next to bin enclosures rather than inside the bins.
Pick-up services will run between December 30, 2024, and January 17, 2025.
Flocked Trees
Flocked trees must be cut into 18-inch sections and placed inside refuse or trash containers with lids securely closed.
Flocked trees can also be disposed of at the Corporate Yard within the same timeframe as unflocked trees.
The city reminds residents to remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, nails, and tree stands before disposal. For more information, contact customer service at the city of Redlands.
