❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my tree for pickup?

Remove all ornaments, lights, tinsel, and decorations. We cannot accept flocked trees. Place your tree at the curb by 12:00 noon, visible from the street (not behind a car or by the garage).

Why wasn't my tree picked up?

Make sure your tree is out by 12:00 noon and visible from the street. If using the traditional method (without scheduling), ensure the flyer with payment is securely attached and visible. If we haven't picked up your tree by 4:00 PM and you're in our pickup area, email us at info.Troop618@troopmaster.email or place your tree out on the next collection date.

Can you take flocked trees?

Sorry, we cannot accept flocked trees as they are not recyclable.

What if I'm not in your pickup area?

You can drop off your tree at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church during our drop-off hours (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM on January 3, 4, 10, & 11).

Do I need to use the scheduling website?

No, it's optional but highly encouraged! The scheduling system helps us plan efficient routes and ensures we don't miss your tree. However, you can still use the traditional method of placing your tree at the curb with payment attached.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept PayPal (preferred), checks payable to "POPLC", and cash. If using the online scheduling system, you must pay via PayPal before scheduling.
