Discover five easy ways to reduce waste this season, from green gift-wrapping to mindful recycling. Make your holidays memorable and waste-free.
Remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, and tree stands. Trees that are flocked, decorated, or still attached to a tree stand will not
be picked up.
Any trees over 6 feet in length must be cut in half to fit inside the collection trucks. If placing a cut up tree in your compost cart, the lid must close!
Place your tree on the curb or cut up in your compost cart for your scheduled service day.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO REMOVE ALL TRIM, ORNAMENTS, LIGHTS, TINSEL AND TREE STANDS!
Apartment managers/owners may schedule one collective Christmas tree pickup at no charge during the month of January. Please contact your apartment manager for your scheduled date and collection location. The above curbside collection restrictions apply.
Some of the holiday trees are ground up and used as mulch or further composted to create a nutritious soil amendment. Other trees are chipped and used as a biomass fuel source at a Co-Generation power plant. These trees replace traditional fossil fuel sources like coal and are considered a carbon neutral fuel source.
