Christmas Tree Collection

Residents in the City of Glendale and the local unincorporated portion of Los Angeles County in the La Crescenta-Montrose areas that are served by Burrtec Waste can have their Christmas trees collected. Collection is free.

• Remove all ornaments, decorations, buckets, bags, stands, bars, nails and most tinsel.
• Flocked and trees coated with fire retardant are acceptable for collection by the City of Glendale; they are not acceptable by Burrtec.
• The City of Glendale asks that trees greater than eight feet tall be cut in half; Burrtec requires that trees taller than six feet be cut in half.
• Residents need to place the tree at the curb or in the alley for pick-up on their refuse collection day. The last day to put out a tree for collection by Burrtec is tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 15.

Rosemont Preserve Open Gate Morning

An “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Sunday morning, Jan. 17. This is a chance for residents to visit the Preserve and wander the trail at their own pace and enjoy the tranquil setting, the wildlife and the natural beauty. Photographers: bring your camera to capture the morning light and citizen scientists, bring your iNaturalist app to add wildlife sightings!

The gate will be open from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Friends of the Rosemont Preserve Committee members will be available to answer questions and present this community resource. LA County guidelines are being followed requiring visitors to wear masks and practice social distancing when visiting the Preserve.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. Those with mobility issues who require a closer parking spot should contact the Rosemont Preserve Committee.

Those planning on walking the trails should wear sturdy shoes.  

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.
