Holiday Schedule

We observe three holidays: New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. 

All Christmas Trees must follow normal service guidelines to be picked up.

Branches should be placed in CLEAR, INDIVIDUAL piles measuring no larger than 3' x 3' x 3', or tied and bundled and under 50 pounds. Branches should measure no more than 6” in diameter to avoid damage to our equipment.

Texas Pride will pick them up on either collection day as long as the Christmas Tree is within these guidelines.
