EVANSTON, IL - City crews will begin picking up holiday trees on Monday, January 6, and the service will continue through Thursday, January 16, 2024, weather permitting.
This two-week window provides residents with the flexibility to take down their trees when it’s convenient. Trees will be picked up on the same day of the week as residents’ normal refuse and recycling collection.
After January 16, community members will be asked to contact 311 to request a pickup for their tree. Public Works will schedule a pickup time after a request is submitted.
Tree collection guidelines
-
All trees should be placed on the parkway, in between the street and the sidewalk.
-
Trees will not be picked up from alleys or private property.
-
Do not place trees in plastic bags.
-
Remove all lights and decorations from trees. These materials can damage equipment used to convert trees into mulch.
For more information, please call/text 847-448-4311. For convenience, residents can also dial 3-1-1 in Evanston.
