Starting Monday, January 10, through Friday, January 21, the City of Greencastle’s Department of Public Works will pick up Christmas trees for recycling.

Residents are asked to place trees out the day before their normal trash pickup  and to make sure the trees are free of lights, wires, decorations, strands, and plastic bags and to place the tree on the lawn next to the curb. For residents without a sidewalk or curb near their property, they should place the trees close to the street, not in the street.  Plastic or artificial trees will not be picked up.

Tree pickup will follow regular trash routes, running once each week. In the event of snow or ice, pick-up may be delayed while crews plow snow.

City residents who miss pickup or county residents wishing to recycle their trees can do so at the Yard Waste site located at 2363 South County Road 250 West. The Yard Waste site will be open from December 26 through January 31 during normal business hours and on Saturdays.
