- Week of Dec. 19 – Normal schedule
- Week of Dec. 26 – All collections will be pushed back one day for the entire week.
- Week of Jan. 2 – All collections will be pushed back one day for the entire week.
Batavia residents will have two opportunities to dispose of their live Christmas trees. Trees will be picked up for free on residents’ garbage days during the weeks of Dec. 26 and Jan. 2 by Waste Management, the city’s waste hauler. No refuse stickers are necessary.
After these dates, residents should attach a refuse sticker to the tree and place it at the curb on their regular collection date. Materials such as plastic bags, ornaments, lights, nails, etc. should be removed from the trees. Live wreaths and garlands should be placed in the regular refuse.
