Christmas Tree Pickup Planned For 2 Weeks After Holidays In Geneva

GENEVA, IL — Geneva residents won't need refuse stickers to dispose of their live Christmas trees after the holidays.

Trees will be picked up by LRS, the city's waste hauler, on garbage days during the weeks of Dec. 30 and Jan. 6. Trees discarded after the first two weeks of the new year will need to have one refuse sticker attached.

Locals must place trees on the curb no later than 7 a.m. on their respective garbage collection days. Ornaments, hooks, nails, tinsel, garland, tree stands and other hard materials need to be removed. City officials noted trees placed in bags will not be accepted.

All wreaths and roping must be thrown out in the trash.
