City offers instructions to dispose of holiday trees
Mountain View residents looking to dispose of their holiday trees can set them out to be taken away for free on their compost collection day from Dec. 26 through the third week of January.
Both green and flocked trees will be accepted, as well as wood stands. However, tinsel, decorations, and metal and plastic stands must be removed. Large trees should be cut into five-foot pieces and placed in the street gutter near your driveway. Small trees should be cut up and placed into compost carts.
The tree removal service is available for residents with individual cart service, according to the city. Apartment managers and business can also arrange for onsite tree collection by calling Recology Mountain View at 650-967-3034.
After the third Friday in January, residents should cut up trees to place in their compost cart, use a free On Call Plus appointment or attach an extra garbage tag, according to the city.

Registration will open soon for next school year in the Mountain View Whisman School District.
