1. Does the City pick up Christmas Trees?

Natural Christmas trees without wire, nails, or plastic, placed curbside, will be picked up by the City. The City will be making two rounds picking up Christmas trees in the month of January. Please set your tree out by the curb for pick up by 7:00 AM on that day. Trees should not be buried in the snow. Please make sure they are not. Due to inclement weather it may take one to two weeks before the tree is picked up. You may also bring your tree to the Recycle Center or cut them into 4 ft. pieces and place them at the roadside for removal by the solid waste contractor. Please contact our solid waste contractor for the date they will start picking up Christmas trees. Wreaths, which normally are tied with wire, can be disposed of in your weekly garbage.
