How Christmas Tree Pickup Works in Tampa

Crews collect trees from the curb, so you do not need to take yours to a drop-off site. Because this is a curbside service, you leave the tree at the curb rather than carrying it anywhere else.

How to Get Your Tree Ready

  • All tinsel, lights, and ornaments should be removed from trees before placing them at the curb.
  • Trees do not have to be cut down unless they are larger than 6 feet.
  • Remove all decorations and lights from the tree.
  • Cut tree limbs to four (4) foot lengths and bundle them.
