Holiday Schedule:

Christmas & New Years Day both fall on Sunday this year so there will be no interruption of your garbage or recycling service.  If you have a Christmas tree, Pittsburg Disposal will pick it up for free. Please place your tree at the curb, on your pick-up day and we will pick it up. If your tree is 5 ft. or larger, please cut it in half. Additionally, if you would like, you can bring your tree to the Recycling Center & Transfer Station, in PIttsburg. Christmas trees will be taken at no charge & must be free of tinsel, flocking and the tree stand. Limit 1 tree per vehicle.
