The City will collect natural Christmas trees during the weeks of January 5-9 and January 12-16. A fee of $12.43 per tree will appear on your utility bill if you put your tree out for pickup.
To prepare a tree for pickup,
Do not place it in any type of bag.
Remove all decorations, lights, wires and stands.
Set it out before 7 a.m. on your collection day, and no earlier than the day before.
Collected trees are taken to a local composting facility where they are ground into mulch and composted. This material is then used in landscaping, gardening and erosion control projects throughout the community. Recycling your tree helps reduce landfill waste and supports a more sustainable city.
For a different pickup date, call Utility Billing at 952-563-8726 to schedule a bulky item pickup for an additional fee. For more information, visit blm.mn/garbage.
