Overview
- On Jan. 5, Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg announced delays to curbside tree collection as crews are reassigned to clear ice and snow.
- The utility says pickup will resume as soon as conditions improve and urges households to present trees according to the published district dates.
- In Duisburg, trees must be fully undecorated, no taller than 2.5 meters, and placed visibly at the curb the evening before pickup, with roughly 100,000 trees slated for composting.
- Residents unwilling to wait for curbside service can take trees to the city’s recycling yards listed by the utility.
- In Wesel, scout and youth groups and the ASG plan Saturday, Jan. 10 collections with defined routes and time slots, request donations for youth work, and ask residents to put trees out by the listed times without setting them out early.
