Christmas Tree Pickup Scheduled In Geneva: See When

GENEVA, IL — Geneva residents will have a few opportunities to get rid of their Christmas trees for free after the holiday.

During the weeks of Dec. 29 and Jan. 5, residents can discard their Christmas trees without attaching any waste stickers for LRS, the city's waste hauler, to pick up on regular collection days.

After the first two weeks of the new year, one sticker will be required.

Trees must be put out with the garbage no later than 7 a.m. on residents' scheduled pickup day. Ornaments, hooks, nails, tinsel, garland, tree strands and other hard materials should be removed. Trees placed in bags will not be accepted, city officials said.

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

Garbage and recycling collection in Geneva will be delayed by one day in observance of Christmas and New Year's Day.
