City of Beverly Hills Encourages Residents to Recycle Their Christmas Trees |
For Immediate Release December 22, 2008

City of Beverly Hills Encourages Residents to Recycle Their Christmas Trees
Beverly Hills, CA – Happy Holidays from the City of Beverly Hills Public Works & Transportation Department! Recycle your Christmas tree and continue the great progress the community has made in reducing solid waste.
If you have a green yard waste container, cut your tree into small pieces and place it in the container. If you do not have a green container, place the tree in the alley next to your trash can. Remember to remove the stand, ornaments and lights from the tree.
Beverly Hills’ residents have made great strides in reducing the amount of waste that goes to landfills. The mixed waste from the black containers is sent to a material recovery facility (MRF) where the recyclables are sorted from the refuse mixture. The yard clippings in the green containers are sent to a composting facility. The City’s decision to change to a MRF disposal site was based upon cost effectiveness and the desire to increase diversion from the landfills. The diversion rate has increased from 57% to 60%.
The Public Works Department congratulates the community for its tremendous support as a partner in conservation. Spread the word … We Recycle!

Beverly Hills Supports Regional Efforts to Help Homeless
City Seeks Volunteers to Provide Assistance
Beverly Hills, CA – Beverly Hills is joining with other Westside cities in support of regional solutions to the problem of homelessness. The City’s Human Services Division is partnering with local non-profit agencies to promote volunteer activities and contributions, as well assisting with longer-term strategies to provide services to the homeless that lead to permanent housing.
Beverly Hills has contracted with Step Up on Second to create the Changing Lives and Sharing Places (CLASP) program, which addresses conditions affecting the quality of life for the homeless in our community. The CLASP outreach team meets on a regular basis with the homeless to make contact and offer services. The City is also promoting efforts to help the homeless as winter approaches through volunteer activities and contributions from the local community for the Westside Shelter Program.
“Beverly Hills is taking a proactive approach to the problem of homelessness by working with neighboring cities and non-profit agencies to end homelessness in our region,” said Yar Meshkaty, Chair of the Human Relations Commission. “Communities struggle to balance the quality of life expected by local residents with the dignity of the homeless. We want our efforts to be supportive rather than punitive by focusing on social services rather than police action,” he added.
