December 2012 This section is updated every December as
holiday tree handling varies from year to year. San Joaquin County's
Lovelace Facility in Manteca and the
North County Facility in Lodi
take holiday trees free of charge after December 25th and through
the second week in January. Trees must be stripped of all ornaments
and tinsel if they are to be recycled. Flocked trees and trees
contaminated with tinsel or other materials will not be recycled or taken
for free and will be regarded as waste. Other holiday tree collection,
