Christmas Trees To Be Picked Up Without Stickers

ELMHURST, IL — Christmas trees will be picked up without a refuse sticker if placed at the curb on residents' regular garbage days during the first and second week in January — Jan. 8-10 and Jan. 15-17.

After that, a sticker is required. All ornaments, lights and nails must be removed. Trees may not be placed in plastic bags. Wrapping paper, packing peanuts, garlands and wreaths may be included with regular refuse. Boxes may be recycled if they measure no more than three feet by three feet, have been flattened, and bagged or bundled.
