DeKalb County to Offer Free Christmas Tree Curbside Collection Service

DECATUR, Ga. – The DeKalb County Sanitation Division announces free Christmas tree curbside collection service for county residents Dec. 27, 2016 - Jan. 17, 2017.

Trees will be collected during regularly scheduled garbage, recycling and yard trimmings collection day. In order to participate, residents must remove all decorations from trees and place them curbside. Tree length must be 7 feet or less.
