Beyond the Cart for Single Family Residents
Holiday Trees
December 26th to January 31st
This is a free service for all residential and multi-family customers. Once you've removed all the tinsel, lights, decorations, and stands from your holiday tree, contact us to schedule a removal. You can leave the tree next to your trash cart by 6am, on your regularly scheduled collections day during the weeks of December 26th to January 31th.
Please make sure your trees are 6 feet and shorter. If the tree is taller than 6 feet, cut the tree into lengths of 6 feet or less. RV and Apartment managers please call our office one week prior to collection, to arrange a mass pick up location.
