Pasadena Residents Urged To Clear Out 'Green' Storm Debris

PASADENA (CBS) — As city crews continue to remove fallen trees and other green storm debris from Pasadena streets and parks, residents are asked to help by moving their green debris out to the gutter for easy pickup.

To recycle all green material and avoid contamination of the resulting mulch, officials said to place only non-bagged green material out for pickup. The city plans to recycle 100 percent of the green material into mulch that will be used in parks throughout the city.

The following green waste drop-off locations are open from Wednesday, Dec. 7 through Friday, Dec. 16 at 7 a.m.:

- Eaton Blanche Park; 3100 E. Del Mar Blvd.

- Robinson Park; 1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave.

Free mulch from the green recycling effort will be available to the public beginning Dec. 15 at both drop-off locations.
