Christmas Tree Pickup

Natural fir and evergreen Christmas trees must be set out at the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on Monday, January 7 for pickup. Trees are to be placed at the curb for pick up and not to impede the flow of traffic. Crews will make one pass through the neighborhoods beginning this week. After this date, residents should contact their waste haulers for disposal. Trees cannot have any flocking, ornaments, tinsel, decorations or wooden tree stands nailed to the bottom of the trees. Likewise, garland and wreaths with wire cannot be accepted. Flocked Christmas trees cannot be recycled, but instead placed with your garbage for your waste hauler to remove.
