Veolia Environmental Services collects Holiday Trees and decorative evergreen items with your regular refuse. Because many trees and wreaths are sprayed with fire protectant or wrapped with wires, they are not considered yard waste. Anytime after the holidays, all you need to do is set the items out for collection with your regular refuse. Make sure that the items do not get buried in the snow. Veolia Environmental Services recommends that you stand the trees up on end inside of or next to your waste cart so they can be easily collected. (Don’t forget to remove your favorite ornaments!)
If you are having problems with your yard waste collection or have had a missed pick-up,
please contact Veolia Environmental Services at (262) 679-0860.
