The Department of Public Service reminds residents that after holiday festivities are done and decorations are packed away for another year, Rumpke will pick up holiday trees free-of-charge at the curbside.  Rumpke will pick up holiday trees on residents’ regular yard waste collection day.

Tips for disposing of holidays trees in Columbus include:

• Remove lights, ornaments, tinsel and all other decorations from the tree.
• Place the tree on the curbside by 6 a.m. on your yard waste collection day.  Residents can go online at http://311.columbus.gov/colorday/ or call 311 or 645-3111 to identify their yard waste collection day.
• If your tree is eight feet tall or taller, cut the tree in half so it is a manageable size to fit in the truck collecting the tree.
• Holiday trees in plastic bags will not be collected
