Christmas Tree Pickup Schedule

Christmas Tree Pickup

The Christmas Tree pickup dates are published in late December.  Please read these important reminders:

  1. We collect REAL Christmas trees ONLY.  We do not pickup artificial trees.
  2. Please cut trees to a maximum of 7 feet.
  3. Remove everything from the tree, especially tinsel. The trees are going to a tree farm so they cannot have anything on them.

If your community isn't listed below, you may contact us via email to pickup your tree for a small fee. A special truck is used for natural Christmas tree collections.
