Do The Right Thing! Recycling

These guys are great! I scheduled an appointment through their online site and paid $ 25 for in-​home Christmas tree removal. While they showed up on the day prior to my actual appointment, they were so friendly, fast, and courteous that I can’t dock a star. I will happily call them again next year.

Update — they finally returned our call on Monday and apologized, even offering to refund our money. The gentleman explained that they were very shorthanded, but promised to pick up the tree within 24 hours. This morning, it’s gone. So they did handle our complaint, eventually. I suppose it’s best to keep in mind that this is a non-​profit, although their communication skills could be improved.

These guys are at my house right now packing up my tree. They took their boots off before coming in the house and everything. I am so glad I found them. Last year I tried to recycle the tree myself by putting it on top of my car. Big mistake. Still finding pine needles all over the interior.
Good luck guys, great service!

We will be using this service every year!
I stumbled on this service from the city’s website and so glad I did. We a quick appointment over the phone for a time frame. A very polite man came to our place (within that time frame) and took our Christmas tree with no mess.
The worker came in, sat a tarp down, laid the tree on it, cut it in half with a hacksaw, wrapped it up completely, and was on his way within 15 – 20 minutes. We probably kept him as long from talking to him, because he was such a nice guy.
There was barely any needles on the floor and the only work we had to do was take all the ornaments off. What a great service!
No mess — No fuss — At a great price — For a great cause

Just paid $ 25 to have someone pack up our tree in our house and remove it. Really nice guy who was quick and cleaned up any mess that was made (I was not expecting that! I was ready to sweep up all of the needles from our dry tree and after they left, there were hardly any there!). I would highly recommend this service!

I attempted to support this nonprofit organization, and reached out to Adam Goldstein and Oliver Santos to arrange our tree pick-​up. After several attempts (some of which were out of Adam’s control because of the snow days), I ended up giving up.
It was nice that Adam was willing to extend their services although I was outside of the «service area,» but the end result was disappointing. I spent a substantial amount of time arranging to get a pick-​up, but never received a return call or reply email to reschedule.
When your potential customers/​supporters reach out to support your organization; it would be courteous to follow through or follow-​up so that they can manage their expectations and seek alternate plans if need be. Also, it would be great if you could extend your service to the Hyde Park/​Bronzeville area.

$ 25 to come into my home, neatly pack up my Christmas tree and haul it away to be recycled? Yes, please! Just had my first experience with DRT and I was very impressed on many levels.
My boss tipped me off to this service yesterday, so I completed the form and emailed it last night. I got a reply almost immediately, and as luck had it, they were going to be in my neighborhood today. They even arrived 15 minutes early for the two-​hour pickup window they gave me.
The two men who came to my place were very professional. They wore the little paper shoe protectors so as not to drag any dirt into my place (seriously, what’s a little more?), quickly and neatly wrapped up my tree in a tarp and then offered to vacuum for me. Really. Excellent service that I will happily use again next year!

Do the Right Thing picked up my Christmas tree from in front of my house for a small donation of $ 15. I was more than happy to pay this to have some one take care of this chore for me. My emails to the organization, with questions about the pickup program, were answered promptly and I was able to organize the pick up with relatively short notice. They also offer to wrap and take the tree out of your house for an additional suggested $ 5.
So happy to support the community and have the tree easily taken off my hands.
