PLEASE NOTE: Two Trash Bag Tags Needed for Curbside Christmas Tree Collection
As you are decorating for the holidays, here are a few important items to know. City of Mt. Pleasant Street Department staff will be picking up discarded Christmas trees from City residents from January 4-15, 2021. This curbside collection can be utilized by attaching two trash bag tags to the tree for a cost of $6.30. These are not special Christmas Tree Collection tags.
Trash bag tags are available for online purchase and delivery at
http://www.mt-pleasant.org/residents/online_service_center/.
Individual trash bag tags are available at GreenTree Grocery. Multiple tags can be purchased at Meijer, Ric’s, and City Hall by appointment only.
Trees are to be placed at the curb, even in areas where normal trash collection is in the alley. If you know you will be using this service, please contact the Division of Public Works with the date the tree will be curbside. Call (989) 779-5401 or email publicworks@mt-pleasant.org.
All tinsel and plastic bags must be removed, and the trunk ends of the trees face the street. Evergreen wreaths will not be collected. After January 15 trees may be taken to the Materials Recovery Facility or disposed of through the City’s brush chipping program.
