The City of Effingham had planned to start picking up Christmas trees on January 5th. Due to the inclement weather, the crews were busy with snow removal and weather-related assistance. If weather permits, they will begin picking up Christmas trees on Monday, January 13th.
All trees must be at the curb or side of street by 8:00 a.m. Monday morning to be sure the tree is picked up. Crews will only make one trip down each street, so please put your tree out early. It may take several days to cover all streets, so please be patient if yours is not picked up Monday.
