Christmas Tree pick-up begins January 6th, 2025.

Christmas Tree Pick-Up Information

Christmas tree collection will occur during the first two full weeks of January: January 6–10 and January 13–17.

What to Do:

  • Place your tree at the curb on your service day. We’ll pick it up the next business day.
  • No Charge: This service is free, but we can only accept one tree per household due to limited truck space.

Tree Prep Guidelines:

  • Tree Only:
    • Remove tinsel, lights, ornaments, decorations, and other non-organic materials.
    • No flocking (paint), wreaths, or garlands.
    • Do not bag your tree.
  • Size Restrictions: Trees taller than 6 feet must be cut down to size.
  • No Artificial Trees: Remove the stand before placing your tree out.

Keep it simple—just like when you first brought your tree home: natural and bare!

Important Notes:

  • This service is available for single-family homes only. Residents in townhomes or multi-dwelling properties should check with their property manager for disposal options.
  • Columbia Heights residents: Contact your city for tree pickup details.
