Christmas Tree Recycling
Instead of tossing it in the garbage, consider having your Christmas tree chipped or composted. Trees will be collected at the curb on your regular yard waste pickup day through the month of January. Trees can also be dropped off from Monday, January 2nd through Thursday, January 12th at Piper Park, Niven Park, and Fire Station 16. If trees are greater than 6 feet in length, please cut them in half. Remove all metal stands, plastic tree bags, and ornaments. Flocked trees will not be accepted. Zero Waste Marin has compiled a comprehensive list of curbside and drop-off disposal options for your tree here.

Marin Storm
Last Thursday's storm resulted in impressive rainfall for the area. While the total rainfall did not translate to significant events statistically, the amount of rain that fell within a 6-hour period at the height of the storm was at a 20 year return level- meaning it was an amount of rainfall within a six hour period that we would on average see only once every 20 years. The City's storm drain system performed well during the rainy weather, with some flooding only occurring in the expected areas of the City and subsiding shortly after the rain ended. Public Works staff monitored flooded areas throughout Thursday for irregularities and needed maintenance.
