The regular schedule will then resume the following Monday. The City of Downey through its franchised trash hauler, Calsan, provides a Christmas tree collection service for our residential customers. Collection of trees will occur on your regular trash collection day for the two weeks following Christmas. The trees will be ground up for composting or used for the County Sanitation Districts' landfill Cover Project, and thus diverted from disposal as regular trash. All decorations must be removed.
Flocked trees are acceptable.
Trees over four feet tall should be cut in half. Wooden stands may be left on the tree. Please do not place your tree in a plastic bag. Calsan will also pick up bulky items from residential homes at no cost.
