Please place your tree, free of any foreign material or objects (bulbs, stands, etc), curbside on your regular trash day. “Flocked” trees or trees containing any foreign objects will not be accepted for recycling and will be taken to the landfill for disposal.
Any trees placed curbside after the initial three (3) week period following Christmas Day will need to comply with the standard green waste collection rules: cut to 4-foot lengths or less, no greater than 3 inches in diameter and stacked curbside. These piles will need to be small enough so it does not delay the crews from collecting the normal trash routes. If the piles are large and require special pickup, a special collection fee will be assessed (minimum fee is $50).
Please be aware that we will do our best to collect your Christmas tree on the day they are placed curbside, but occasionally, due to the volume of trees, it may not be picked up the same day.
