RECYCLING: A roundup of how to get rid of that highly flammable dead shrub is courtesy of LAist, where he notes of these entreprenuers. For the rest of us, the LA Bureau of Sanitation reminds: "Remove all decorations, tinsel and stand. Trees must be cut in half and placed in the green yard trimmings container at curb. Flocked trees can not be recycled. Cut flocked tree and place in black container."

As per this city site, Reseda apartment dwellers or homeowners without loppers can go to Chatsworth Park South, at 22360 Devonshire St., or Encino's Balboa Sports Center, 17015 Burbank Bl. The maps there aren't too specific about where in those sprawling parks the drop-off location will be. ::: Ed. note--- Look for signs.::: Call 800 587-3356 for info or the city services line, 311. Sites are open weekends only between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Jan. 7 and 8, and Jan. 14 and 15. :::Ed. note-- People with flocked trees and no loppers are reminded not to buy flocked trees.:::
