December 26th, 2024 – January 26th, 2025
Starting December 26th through January 26th, our Sanitation Department will be collecting live residential Christmas trees curbside.
Please remove all decorations from your live tree. Any items left on trees could damage our equipment.
Trees must be free of:
- Ornaments
- Hooks
- Lights
- Nails
- Stands
To participate, please have your tree curbside on your trash day for collection. Call-ins will not be accepted for Christmas trees and collections will not be made on private streets or in alleys. No artificial trees will be collected via chipper. Please call the Department of Public Works to schedule a bulky item pick up for artificial trees.
