From Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez Desk – After the Holiday Glee, Please Recycle your Tree!

LA Sanitation offers several ways to recycle your live Christmas tree. Through the recycling process, compost and mulch is produced and then made available to residents for free!
– There’s curbside collection; you just need to place the tree curbside next to your green waste bin on collection day.

– Additionally, you can drop-off your trees at three locations in Council District 7.

– Finally, you can visit the MYLA311 website, create a “Bulky Items” ticket, and select “Christmas Tree” in the drop-down menu.

Note: Flocked and artificial trees cannot be recycled. Please place them in the black trash bin.

Three days ago, in partnership with North Valley Caring Services and local community organizations, we identified 500 families and provided them with the food supplies they need to make sure everyone’s holidays are merry and bright.

With so many individuals in our district living food insecure, we all have the opportunity to help meet the need, either by donating or volunteering.
We are ONE LA.

During the holiday season, local food pantries—which

Happy New Year!

2022 presented more than its fair share of challenges, but it was also full of good moments. From now having a record six women serve on the Los Angeles City Council (I’m now the most senior woman in City Hall!) to meeting more of you at our community events, I look forward to continuing to fight for you.

Here’s to 2023!
