Tree-cycling
Don’t trash your tree.
It's free and easy to recycle your Christmas tree—or Hanukkah bush—if you live in the city of Sacramento. All you need to do is place the tree out on the curb any time between now and 6 a.m. on Monday, January 14, 2013. And remember to not just stick it in the trash. If you live in an apartment and want to recycle a tree for free, bring it to the SMUD Corporation Yard ( 6100 Folsom Boulevard), the North Area Recovery Station (4450 Roseville Road in North Highlands), the Kiefer Landfill (12701 Kiefer Boulevard in Sloughhouse), or Elder Creek Recovery and Transfer (8642 Elder Creek Road) during their specific recycling dates listed at http://tinyurl.com/treecycling.
