The City of Berkeley is collecting holiday trees from businesses, apartment buildings and residents during the first week of January, 2000. Residents and businesses should set their trees at the curb by 7 a.m. on their regular trash collection day. Since the tree will be composted, decorations and stands must be removed. Tall trees should be trimmed to 5 foot lengths, so they will fit into the collection trucks.
Residents can also set out trees on their regular plant debris collection days.
Apartment buildings and businesses with trash bins have different trash pickup days than single family houses on the same block. These apartment residents and businesses should call 644-8856 during business hours for more information. Trees for drop-in bins can be of any size. All refuse normally collected on Saturday will be collected on Sunday. All other refuse and recycling collection will be on the regular schedule.
