Holiday Tree Collection: January 2–13, 2007
Additionally, residents should mark their calendars for the annual Christmas tree collection. Residents who receive DC trash collection service are encouraged to put holiday trees and other greenery–without ornaments or tinsel–in curbside tree boxes by January 2, 2007. Trees will be picked up during a special two-week collection from January 2–13. Residents who wish to keep their trees longer should put them out at their normal point of trash collection (curbside or alley) after January 13. DPW will then collect the trees along with the regular trash, as truck space permits over the following weeks.
