Christmas Tree Drop-off locations open 12/26/07 - 1/16/08 

The City provides nine (9) drop-off locations. We are not equipped to collect trees curbside from your home. -do not leave them on the curb; BFI has been instructed not to pick them up. 

Please check the list below, and find the location closest to you. All lights and ornaments must be removed. These trees are handled by the City Parks and Recreation department and run through a chipper....so you can see why lights and ornaments have to be removed!
No Wreaths or Swags...kindly place plastic 'tree wrappers' in trash!
