What if I live in a condo complex? Will they pick up there or is that the private company's responsibility that normally picks our garbage up?

DPW will pick up trees in any area of town. Please leave them out on at the curb on the appropriate date. Should your tree be out at the curbside by 7:00 a.m. on your designated day, but missed, please call Public Works at 683-0362 to let them know. Leave a message with your address if there's no answer (short staffing). If you'd like, you may bring them to the Public Works Department at any time!
