CARLSBAD, CA — The city of Carlsbad and Waste Management are making it easy for residents to recycle their Christmas trees this year. Effective Sunday through Jan. 15, curbside pickup is being offered for holiday trees on regularly scheduled trash pickup days at these five tree drop-off locations: -- Calavera Hills Community Park, 2997 Glasgow Drive; -- Stagecoach Community Park, 3420 Camino de los Coches; -- Poinsettia Community Park, 6600 Hidden Valley Road; -- Fire Station 1, 1275 Carlsbad Village Drive; -- Waste Management, 5960 El Camino Real. Trees must have all decorations removed including tinsel, lights, ornaments and tree stands. Trees taller than six feet must be cut in half and placed next to green waste carts for curbside pickup. Whenever possible, residents are requested to cut down their tree so that it fits inside the green waste cart with the lid closed. Flocked trees cannot be recycled and must be disposed of through regular trash service.
