But DeKalb residents, you’re in luck.

Beginning Dec. 26, the county’s sanitation services will pick up your tree through Jan. 11.

Trees must by 7 feet or less  and have no decorations on them. They must be placed on the curb on your scheduled collection day.

Trees longer than 7 feet must be cut to the appropriate length.

Residents also have the option of disposing of trees at the Seminole Road Landfill for a fee. Trees are converted to mulch.
