South Tahoe Refuse will recycle Christmas trees through Jan. 6.

Place the tree with the trash on the normal garbage day. All lights, tinsel and other decorations must be removed. Trees must be cut into 6-foot increments or less.

Flocked trees will not be recycled because they cannot be turned into compost.

Commercial customers may bring trees to the refuse center in South Lake Tahoe for the next two weeks at no charge.

For more information, call (530) 541.5105.
