Pretty easy, DeKalb.

The county sanitation division will pick up Christmas trees from the curb for free this year for customers. The service runs from Dec. 27 to Jan. 17, the county said.

“Trees will be collected during regularly scheduled garbage, recycling and yard trimmings collection day,” the county said in a news release. “In order to participate, residents must remove all decorations from trees and place them curbside.”

The tree length must be 7 feet or less.

Trees that cannot be trimmed to required size may be taken to the county-owned Seminole Road Landfill or collected by the Sanitation Division’s special collection unit, which may require a fee.

The trees will be converted to mulch.

For more information about free Christmas tree curbside collection, to arrange for a special collection for larger trees or to inquire about general sanitation-related services, contact 404-294-2900 or sanitation@dekalbcountyga.gov, or click here.
