Update
Due to a number of people putting their trees out to the curb early this year, Advanced Disposal said they will start pickup the week of Jan. 2. The normal collection schedule outlined below still will take place as planned.

Dec. 27 News Release
Geneva residents will have two opportunities to dispose of their live Christmas trees for free during January.

Trees will be picked up on residents’ normal garbage collection day the weeks of Jan. 9 and Jan. 16 by Advanced Disposal, the City’s waste hauler. People must place their live tree at the curb no later than 7 a.m. on their scheduled collection day. No refuse stickers will be required for this service.

Ornaments, hooks, nails, tinsel, garland, tree stands and other hard materials should be removed from the trees prior to disposal. Trees placed in bags at the curb will not be accepted. All wreaths and roping must be discarded with the regular trash.
