Residents must place the tree at the edge of pavement or near the curb for collection no later than 7 a.m. on your scheduled refuse collection day.

In order to ensure the timeliness and the integrity of the schedule, crews will not return for special pickups. Once the street has been completed, trees will not be collected until the following week.

No refuse sticker will be required for this service.
