Waukesha Christmas Tree Pickup: How To

WAUKESHA, WI — The 2019 holiday season is over, and you might be wondering when that Christmas tree can be picked up.

The City of Waukesha Department of Public Works will pick up holiday trees set out at the curb in the month of January. There is not a set route schedule, crews will pick them up as they see
them.

And, the pickup schedule depends on time and other circumstances – plowing and other projects may take priority.

Guidelines

1) Residents may set out real holiday trees only. No wreaths or artificial trees should be included with the set out. Those items may be put in with the regular trash for the garbage collection.

2) Trees must be free of lighting, decorations, tree stands or any other object.

3) Trees should not be in bags, twine or netting.

Drop-Off Center

Residents may also bring their trees to the Drop-Off Center at 750 Sentry Dr. during open public hours, which are on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at no charge during the month of January.
