Please note: This information is for customers who are not part of a municipal contract. If you receive your Granger service through a contract with your municipality, please contact us for information about tree collection as it varies by community.

Granger will once again be collecting Christmas trees this winter. All Christmas trees must be live-cut and free of decorations. Trees or sections of trees can be no longer than four feet. If your community currently does not have a Christmas tree disposal option, the following are options for disposal.

  • Place your live-cut Christmas tree next to your Curby cart or bags on your trash collection day beginning the week after Christmas and through the first two weeks in January. Granger will collect Christmas trees from existing customers at the curb for $10 per tree. The tree must be cut into 4 foot sections. No advance scheduling is required; however, pickup may be delayed if capacity limits are reached.
  • Haul your tree to the Disposal Center of Lansing , Disposal Center of Jackson or Disposal Center of Alma. Costs, directions and hours can be found on the page for each site.

All Christmas trees collected curbside and dropped off at the Disposal Center of Alma will be taken to Granger’s landfill where they will be used to make renewable energy. Trees brought to the Disposal Center of Lansing or Disposal Center of Jackson will be treated as yard waste.
