From Dec. 26, 2014 through Jan. 8, 2016 residents can drop off trees at several locations throughout the City, as shown on www.longbeach-recycles.org. Residents with City refuse service can leave their trees out where trash is normally collected by 7:00 am on Saturday, Jan. 9, 2016.

All trees must have decorations and stands removed, and trees over 12 feet tall should be cut in half.
