Nadia Gill, host of the Long Beach Brief, announced that the city's holiday tree cycling program runs through Jan. 9 and that residents may recycle live trees at designated drop-off locations or leave them curbside for pickup on Jan. 10 at 7 a.m.

The program is intended to collect live holiday trees for recycling rather than landfill disposal. "The holiday tree cycling program is here until January 9. Recycle your live tree at a drop off location or leave it curbside on January 10 at 7AM for pickup," Gill said. She directed listeners to the city's tree cycling webpage for locations and hours.

For planning purposes, residents should remove decorations and stands before drop-off or curbside pickup. Additional operational details, such as exact drop-off sites and hours, were not specified in the brief; the city's tree cycling page contains the full schedule and instructions.

The city encourages residents to use the program to reduce waste and support recycling efforts; questions about special collection needs or commercial pickups should be directed to the city's sanitation or public works departments.
