Live Christmas tree pick-up begins in January

The Street Department will once again pick up live Christmas trees starting January 2, 2024, and will continue until Monday, February 2, 2024. 

Trees must be placed in front of homes by the curb, but not in the street or alley. Live trees must be free of ornaments, lights, and tinsel. Street department crews will make rounds throughout the City to collect trees. Do not place artificial trees or other decorations at the curb.

The trees will be chipped for composting at the Goshen Environmental Center. Live Christmas trees can also be taken to the Environmental Center at 20100 County Road 21 for disposal.

This program is weather-dependent, as the crews picking up the trees are the same ones who plow city streets.
