Tree Pickup

Christmas Tree Collection
During the month of January the City offers in-city residents free Christmas Tree disposal. There are two ways to take advantage of this service: (1.) Take your tree to the designated dumpster next to the skate board park on Locust Lane; (2.) in January, trees are collected curbside within City limits every Monday (except scheduled City holidays). Please follow these steps: remove all ornaments, decorations, and lights; take the tree out of its stand; do not wrap the tree in plastic, trash bags, or blankets; if we are picking it up at your house, set it out no sooner than Sunday morning.

Residents are NOT required to call in and schedule a pickup, the trees will be automatically collected on Mondays in January. After January, trees will follow the regular bi-weekly Bulk Trash schedule and be collected with tree limbs and brush every other Monday. Click here for more information.

Card Collection

Greeting Card Collection

The Westminster Police Department has a collection receptacle in the lobby for the collection of greeting cards. For the past several years, WPD has collected cards of all types that would otherwise be discarded and donated them to The Arc for recycling. Anyone can simply place their cards in the collection box at 36 Locust Street and WPD will take care of delivering them to The Arc. If you have any questions regarding this collection, please call 410-848-9000.
