How Christmas Tree Pickup Works in Chesapeake
In Chesapeake, trees are collected at the curb rather than at a drop-off site, so you do not need to haul your tree anywhere. The trucks that pick up bulk waste and the rear loader trucks collect the trees, not the automated truck that empties trash bins. Put your tree out on your regular collection day, and the crew will take it from the curb.
