Los Angeles County is offering free tree debris pickup in La Crescenta, Altadena and Kinneloa Mesa. They're offering fewer collection sites than previously available.
L.A. County advises residents to continuing using large green waste bins for small debris and to contact whoever's normally responsible for waste collection to pick up additional debris, according to a press release. Property owners are responsible for debris not in the public right of way.
Pickup sites:
La Crescenta
Location: Crescenta Valley Regional Park, 3901 Dunsmore Ave., La Crescenta
Date: Saturday Dec 17, 7 a.m. to 4p.m.

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
