Giving gifts for a birthday or anniversary? Celebrating a special event or a holiday? Having a party just because you want to? Give a special gift to the community and the environment by reducing and recycling the resulting waste. It's easy!

Wrap gifts in colorful comics, old maps or other colorful paper materials normally found around the home or office.
Or, instead of wrapping gifts in paper, try presenting them in reusable containers like tin or plastic holiday boxes, gift bags or baskets.
Buy gift wrap that contains recycled paper.
Avoid foil gift wrap, which is not recyclable.
Recycle wrapping paper (except foil) with mixed paper in the City's curbside recycling program.
Make gift tags from old greeting cards.
Use cloth napkins, metal flatware, china plates and real glasses for "waste-less" holiday parties and meals.
For more information, contact the City's Recycling Coordinator at (408) 615-2063.
The City provides a service of picking up used holiday trees. Just set your holiday trees out during your curbside pick up the first full week following New Year's Day, Monday, January 7th through Friday, January 11th, 2008.
For more information on holiday tree pick-up, contact the Street Department Corporation Yard at (408) 615-3080.
