Holiday trees will be collected curbside for recycling during the first two-week period of each year in Castro Valley Sanitary District (CVSan). Single-family residents, multi-family residents, and schools may participate in the Holiday Tree Recycling program.
Holiday Tree Recycling collection dates for 2024: January 2nd - 6th and January 8th - 12th.
Remove ornaments, tinsel, nails, and stands. Flocked trees will be collected, but not composted. If necessary, cut tree into a maximum of six-foot lengths. Place curbside for pick up on your regular collection day. At the end of the two-week period during the month of January, unflocked holiday trees may be cut up and placed inside the organics cart for collection. Lids must close.
- Single-family residents may set out holiday trees curbside.
- Multi-family residents may set out holiday trees curbside or in the general collection area.
- Schools may set out trees as agreed to by the school and Alameda County Industries (ACI).

OTHER HOLIDAY RECYCLING TIPS & REMINDERS:
- Save holiday bows and ribbon and reuse them next year.
- Save foam packaging pellets and use them in the next package you send out. You can also gather clean pellets in a plastic bag and check if a local UPS Store or other package delivery company would accept them for reuse.
- Recycle wrapping paper in the blue recycling cart or bin. Only wrapping paper that does not contain glitter, other plastic, or metal can be recycled.
- Compost holiday leftovers (all food scraps and food-soiled paper) in the green organics cart.
