2024 Christmas Tree Disposal Information

The Department of Public Works will begin collecting Christmas trees on Monday, January 8, 2023. To participate in this free service, residents must follow these guidelines:

  1. Trees must be placed on the boulevard by 7:00 am on the scheduled pick-up day. (Real trees only. NO artificial trees.)
  2. Do not place trees in the street. 
  3. All decorative items must be removed. This includes bulbs, garland, tinsel, tree stands, etc.

Residents may also drop-off their trees from January 8 – January 12 at two (2) locations: the Shelby Street Boat Launch overflow parking lot or the Kiwanis Park parking lot. Once the City’s scheduled pick-up days have ended, it is residents’ responsibility to dispose of their own trees.
