City of Naperville Report
The City of Naperville’s annual Arbor Day Tree Sale will take place online for a four-week period beginning March 17. The sale link will open at 8AM on Mon., March 17 and will close at 5PM on Wed., April 16, when all trees are sold, whichever comes first. A drive-thru tree pickup will take place from 8AM to 1PM on Sat., April 19 at the Public Works Service Center, 180 Fort Hill Drive.
Customers will be able to select from 30 different species of trees costing between $45 and $150 for use in beautifying their yards and sustaining the environment. A total of 378 trees are available for purchase, including various maples, oaks and elms.
How to Place a Tree Order
New this year, tree orders must be placed through Resident Access, the City’s recently launched payment portal. Customers can preview photos and descriptions of the available trees at naperville.il.us/2025-tree-sale.
To make a purchase, customers must visit the Resident Access portal to select their tree(s) and complete their purchase. More information about the new payment process is available at naperville.il.us/arbordaytreesale. Customers will be limited to six trees per transaction.
Once an online order is complete, shoppers will be directed to use an online calendar to schedule a time to pick up their tree(s) on Sat., April 19, at the Public Works Service Center. Pickup timeslots must be scheduled within 24 hours of purchase to avoid cancelation. For the safety of all, participants will be asked to stay in their vehicles while City staff members load the trees into vehicles during their pre-scheduled pickup timeslot.
All tree sales are final, and trees must be picked up on April 19. Payment will be forfeited for trees that are not picked up on April 19 and no refunds will be given.
Rain Barrel and Composter Pickup Event
The City, in partnership with the Conservation Foundation and Upcycle Products, continues to promote using rain barrels and composters to help protect our environment and natural resources. Back again this year, rain barrel and composter purchases received by mail-in form by April 10 or online before April 14 may be picked up during the tree sale drive-thru from 8AM to 1PM on Sat., April 19, at the Public Works Service Center.
A receipt will be required at the time of pickup for proof of purchase. A portion of rain barrel and composter sales will be donated to the Conservation Foundation. Orders must be placed at upcycle-products.com/il-programs/nprv/.
Annual Tree Sale
“The tree sale is an important annual event that brings lasting benefits,” said Sustainability Manager Ben Mjolsness. “By inspiring residents to plant trees and utilize resources like rain barrels and composters, we’re fostering a greener, more sustainable environment. Together, we’re protecting natural resources while making our community even more vibrant, welcoming and beautiful for all.”
