'Groot' To Collect Christmas Trees Throughout Jan.

The service comes at no cost and will occur on normal collection days.

Groot will collect Christmas trees at no charge on your normal collection day throughout the month of January.

In order for a tree to be collected, it must be placed at the curb or the edge of the road by 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled collection day. All lights and decorations must be removed. Trees should not be placed in plastic bags, and any trees over six (6) feet tall should be cut in half so one person can handle them. Also, trees should be placed on top of the snow. Trees buried under snow could result in Groot not collecting them. Please contact Groot Customer Service at 1-800-244-1977 with any refuse or recycling inquiries.

For information about this news release, please contact Michael Kumbera, Assistant Village Manager, at 847-658-2700.
