Annual tree recycling service begins December 26

With the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays both falling on Monday this year, trash and recycling services will be delayed by one day the remainder of those holiday weeks.

The City’s waste hauler Waste Management will start its annual 3-week curbside Christmas tree collection on December 26.   Trees are collected on your regular trash day. Just be sure to remove all stands and decorations, and if your tree is taller than 6 feet, it should be cut In half before placing it curbside.

If you live in a multi-family complex, we also have the following drop-off locations:

Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, 28095 Hillcrest

Marty Russo Youth Athletic Park, 22056 Olympiad Road

Gilleran Park, 24960 Felipe Road
