Artificial Christmas trees
For live Christmas tree removal, customers can leave their undecorated tree curbside as yard waste, which is collected weekly on your pickup day except for the first one of the month. Trees must be cut and bundled, with limbs no longer than four feet long, less than 18 inches across and less than 35 pounds. The Convenience Collection Center is not accepting Christmas trees at this time.
Residential waste management customers receive trash, single-stream and glass recycling collection on city-observed holidays, but not yard waste collection. Commercial routes run as usual on city-observed holidays.
