Holiday tree pickups
With Christmas over, Recology will collect trees through Jan. 31. People should remove all tinsel, lights, decorations and stands, and then place the tree next to their green compost bins on the regular collection day.
People living in single-family homes should make sure trees are no taller than 8 feet. Trees larger than that should be cut into lengths of 8 feet or less.
After Jan. 31, people will be required to cut up and put the trees inside the compost bin.
Apartment managers should call Recology San Mateo County at 650-595-3900 to arrange for holiday trees to be collected.
