City announces Christmas tree recycling sites The City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department has begun accepting Christmas trees at a number of drop-off locations around the city. Residents can drop off trees through Jan. 23, at the following coastal locations: • Kate Sessions Park, 5077 Soledad Road • Mission Bay, SeaWorld Drive at Pacific Highway • University City, Swanson Pool, 3585 Governor Drive Tree stands, lights, ornaments and all decorations should be removed before dropping off. Trees sprayed with fake snow, known as flocked trees, will also be accepted. The city is also reminding residents to not leave any other trash or items to be recycled at these locations because it will not be removed. Residents with curbside yard waste collection can also leave their trees at the curb for pickup. The city began the tree-recycling program 35 years ago to help reduce the amount of organic material being dumped in the Miramar Landfill. Now the trees, along with other yard waste such as grass clippings, are either turned into compost, mulch or wood chippings used for a variety of programs.
