Christmas Tree Pickup Has Started
The City of Glendale collects and recycles Christmas trees annually.
If you are a single-family or multi-family household (2-4 units), place your tree curbside on your regular collection day. Christmas tree collection will run until April 1, 2026.
Make sure to do the following beforehand:
- Remove all ornaments, decorations, nags, stands, bars, nails, and tinsels. (Flocked trees and fire-retardant trees are okay).
- Cut your tree in half if it's taller than 8 feet.
- Place your tree at the curb or in the alley on your regular collection day.
