    Recycle Your Christmas Tree

    Paramount residents who have single-family residential trash accounts with CalMet Services can place their Christmas trees out for free pickup from 12/28/09 through 1/15/10. The trees will be recycled into mulch.

    Be sure to remove the stand and all decorations, lights and tinsel. Do not wrap the tree or enclose it in a plastic bag. If the tree is four-feet-tall or shorter, you can put it in your green waste recycling barrel. For anything larger, set it curbside on your normal garbage collection day by 6:00 a.m. (Flocked trees will also be picked up.)
