The city of Claremont’s annual Christmas tree recycling program is now underway and will run through next Friday January 15. Unlike this tree spotted in north Claremont, the stand needs to be removed as does all ornaments, lights and tinsel need to be removed prior to pick-up. Residents can place the bare tree at the curb by 6 a.m. on their regular refuse collection day however trees over 6 feet tall must be cut in half. For more information, please contact the community services department at (909) 399-5431. COURIER photo/Steven Felschundneff
