Did you know your holiday tree is 100% recyclable? Athens Services collects your holiday trees and recycles them into mulch! Holiday tree collection begins January 2 in South Pasadena and ends on January 12. Follow these steps to ensure proper recycling of your holiday tree🌲
1. Remove all ornaments, tinsel, lights, and the stand
2. Place your tree next to your containers on your trash day

3. Trees will be recycled into mulch!
If you miss the tree pick-up day, cut up your tree and place it in your organics (yard waste) container.
