Westfield Christmas Tree Pick-Up Archives

Christmas Eve takes place exactly one week from tonight. Meanwhile, the holiday spirit fills the air. For instance, Scotch Plains put their tree on display in Alan Augustine Village Green. Westfield and Fanwood’s official trees are set up at their respective North Ave train stations. And you absolutely must see the Fanwood Christmas House. But after the celebration dies down and your guests go home, you are left with the clean-up. That includes your Christmas tree. Unfortunately, these trees cannot be disposed of with your weekly trash collection. What do you do? Contact our local high school band and schedule a Westfield Christmas tree pick-up after the holidays.

December 31st is the deadline to register your Westfield Christmas tree pick-up by our local high school band. Just $20 per tree. Reservations are on a first-come/first-served basis with a cap of 400 trees picked up for the day.

Westfield Christmas Tree Pick-Up 2021

In an effort to raise money for their activities throughout the year, the Westfield High School Band picks up Christmas trees after the holidays and disposes of them for local residents. All trees end up at the conservation center for recycling. Regrettably, due to COVID-19 restrictions, no “day of” payment collection is allowed. Payment must be made ahead of time. Since the high school limits their total tree pick-up to 400, you need to make your reservation as soon as possible.

How to Register for Pick-Up

First, fill out the band’s tree pick-up form here. Then, mail your payment to:

Westfield High School Band & Choir
ATTN: Chris Vitale
550 Dorian Rd
Westfield, NJ 07090

They only accept payments via check (preferable) or cash. Make your check payable to “WHS Music”. After that, simply take down your tree after the holidays. Next, strip it of all lights, decorations (including tinsel) as well as the stand. Finally, leave your tree out at the curb by 8 am on January 9th. Let Westfield High School’s band take care of the rest.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Even though Christmas is still five days away, it wouldn’t hurt you to plan how to perform your clean-up afterward. Most HOAs frown on Christmas decorations left up past a certain time frame after the holidays. Some families make defrocking the tree a time-honored post-Christmas tradition. Any way you slice it, your decorations need to come down at some point. What do you do with tree afterward? Schedule a Westfield Christmas tree pick-up.

Westfield Christmas Tree Pick-Up

The Westfield High School Band and Choir offers its services to help you dispose of your Christmas tree after the holidays. For just $20 per tree, students come to your house, pick up your tree, and transport it to our local conservation center for recycling. You have until December 27th to register for their services.

Money raised from the pick-up helps fund trips and other meaningful musical experiences for the band and choir throughout the year. Just make sure you strip your tree clean of any decorations, tinsel, stand, etc. Then, leave it curbside just outside your Westfield home by 9:30 am on January 5th. Attach an envelope in a visible location on the tree with your $20 payment inside (cash or check with payment to the order of WHS Music).

Elfie Selfie Contest Still Going On

Then upload it to your Facebook or Instagram page with #WestfieldElfieSelfie included in the post. Drawings are held weekly for fun prizes. Enter as often as you want. Good luck and Merry Christmas.
