Christmas Tree Pickup In Oswego: See Collection Timeline

OSWEGO, IL — Oswego residents can place their Christmas trees at the curb for pickup through Jan. 9, village officials said.

Groot Industries, Oswego's waste collector, will pick up undecorated trees left at the curb on residents' regular garbage collection days. The pickup is free, meaning no waste stickers are needed.

All lights, ornaments, tinsel and decorations must be removed. Trees should not be placed in plastic bags.

Residents who do not dispose of their trees by the pickup deadline will need to wait until April, when the village's yard waste program resumes, officials said. In the spring, waste stickers will be required for pickup.

For additional information or questions about refuse pickups, locals should call the Oswego Public Works Department at 630-554-3242 or Groot at 630-892-9294.
