Christmas Tree Pickup

Your tree gave you a beautiful Christmas — give it a green goodbye. We collect your tree and take it to the City of Chicago's Christmas tree recycling at Margate Park, where it is mulched and returned to the earth instead of going to a landfill.

That is the heart of this service: your tree gets recycled, and you never have to haul it anywhere.

NEW: Tree Delivery (November–December)

No car? No problem. We'll bring your tree home.

Pick out your perfect fresh tree at any North Side tree lot — and instead of strapping it to a roof you don't have, let us do the hauling. We'll pick your tree up at the lot and carry it right into your home, stand-ready.
How it works:
  1. Buy your tree at the lot (or tell us which lot it's waiting at).
  2. Book a delivery below and pick a day.
  3. We bring the tree to your door — and inside, if you'd like a hand.
Delivery serves Chicago's North Side: north of North Avenue, from the river to the lake, up to the Evanston border. To book a delivery, email us at [email protected].

Recycle Pickup (January)

When Christmas is over, we'll take it from there.

January 2027 is our 7th Annual Christmas tree recycle pickup. Chicago doesn't pick up your tree — but we do, and every tree we collect goes to the Margate Park recycling station to be mulched, not landfilled.
How it works:
  1. Book below — tell us your address and pick a day.
  2. Put the tree out — on the curb or your front porch, decorations off, and we'll handle the rest.
  3. We collect it and take it straight to Margate Park for recycling.
$25 per tree. Pay the easy way: Cash · Venmo · Zelle — no payment online, just settle up when we see you.
Apartment and condo buildings welcome. Building rules about trees in dumpsters and alleys? That's exactly why we exist. Put it on the curb or the porch and it's gone — the right way.

The Bundle: Book Both Ends, Save $5

Let us bring it in December — and take it away in January.

If we delivered your tree, your January recycle pickup is $20 — $5 off the $25 price.
