Christmas tree pickup?

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but... is Christmas tree pickup scheduled to occur this year? Orchard Street is rather stacked with discarded trees, and has been for a few weeks; I'm starting to wonder if I need to haul my tree somewhere to be dropped off.

I'd been wondering the same thing and I called 311 a week ago. The operator assured me they were picking up trees this year and told me to put my tree out on the curb with the regular trash -- which is exactly what I had already done, when the trash people threw it back onto my lawn. Hope they pick the trees up soon, since it is a bit annoying to walk around them on the sidewalk. It could help if 311 gets a bunch of calls asking for the trees to be removed.

311 told me the same thing. The conversation was something like this:

311: Yeah, just leave your tree by your trash.
Me: I did, around January 2 -- and so did everyone else on Orchard St. and vicinity. Do you know when they'll be picking them up?
311: It might take awhile, just be patient. It's erratic.
Me: Erratic?
311: Yeah.
