Places to recycle your tree after the holidays

• 1. In the metro-Bakersfield area, residents can place Christmas trees into their GREEN WASTE CONTAINER as long as the tree is cut into small pieces and the container lid is completely closed. Whole trees are not accepted. The garbage hauler will take it to the Mount Vernon Green Waste Recycling Facility. It’s that simple.
• 2. Contact one of the non-profit organizations in Kern County that pick up Christmas trees for a small donation. Check your local newspaper for contact information or go to KernCountyWaste.com.
• 3. Residents can self-haul whole Christmas trees to one of 24 drop-off locations throughout Kern County from December 26, 2015 to January 10, 2016.
