Trash pickups on schedule

It may be the holidays, but trash and recycling pickup must go on.

Waste Management of Idaho-Coeur d'Alene and Coeur d'Alene Garbage/Post Falls Sanitation are on schedule for all pickups this week and next, so collection days won't change for customers despite the three-day holiday weekends for many, the companies announced.

Post Falls Sanitation will provide free Christmas tree pickup for Post Falls residents on Saturday, Jan. 14.

Trees must have all decorations removed and be cut into bundled 4-foot lengths or less and placed at curbside before 6 a.m. on Jan. 14. Pickup is for trees only. No callbacks for additional pickups.

Coeur d'Alene doesn't collect trees, although residents can deliver them to the Solid Waste transfer stations. Trees taken to the stations do not have to be cut into lengths and bundled, but must have all decorations removed.

The Coeur d'Alene station is at 3650 N. Ramsey Road. The Post Falls station is at 15580 W. Prairie Ave.
