VICTORVILLE, Calif. – Today, the City of Victorville released information about a variety of Christmas tree disposal and recycling services available to residents to help keep Victorville clean. Collection of natural, flocked and artificial trees is available to residents of single-family homes with curbside barrel service. Residents without curbside pickup service can dispose of trees for free at the City’s Recycling Drop-Off Center.
Curbside Pickup for Natural and Flocked Trees: Victorville residents of single-family homes with curbside barrel service, may recycle natural and flocked Christmas trees for free by placing them curbside on their regular trash and recycling collection day between Jan. 2 and Jan. 13. Be sure your tree is curbside by 6 a.m. on your trash collection day. A separate truck will be making rounds to collect trees, and it could arrive at your house earlier or later than trash and recycle trucks. All stands, plastic bags, and decorations must be removed. Trees more than eight feet tall should be cut in half. After Jan. 13, residents of single-family homes with curbside barrel service may dispose of trees by scheduling a free bulky item pickup through Victorville Disposal at (760) 245-8607.
