Residents still can recycle their used Christmas trees

By Lisa O'Neil, in 1994

This holiday season, Taormina Industries' RECYCLE program will conduct Christmas tree collection and recycling services for Anaheim residents. Residents participating in the fully automated curbside recycling program are asked to place their Christmas tree at curbside on their collection day through Friday. All types and sizes of Christmas trees will be accepted, including flocked trees. Christmas trees must have all tree stands, decorations, and tinsel removed. Trees over 6 feet tall must be cut in half. Multi-family residents residing in the above cities who do not have curbside collection may bring their Christmas tree to the CVT Public Recycling Center, 1131 N. Blue Gum Ave., at the corner of La Palma and Blue Gum in Anaheim. Multi-family residents can also recycle other household items, such as aluminiumcans, newspapers, glass, and plastics at the center all year round at no cost. Trees collected through RECYCLE program will be processed into mulch used for landscaping. For more information on the Christmas tree collection program, call Taormina Industries' Customer Service Department at 238-3300.
