What is known
The town's FY2027 guide lists a Christmas tree collection on its calendar. We could not find a published date for January 2027, so watch the town's news flashes and DPW pages in December. Do not put the tree out in late December without a confirmed date, since a tree left in the snow becomes frozen to the ground and is harder to move. Treat it like the fall yard-waste weeks: out by 6 AM on your trash day, bare, and not in a bag, and confirm the details for trees with the DPW.
Drop-off option
The Bedford Recycling Center takes natural trees on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 8 AM to 1 PM, restricted to residents with proof of residency or the blue sticker. This is the fallback if you miss the curbside week. A seven-foot tree fits in most wagons and SUVs if you lay the back seats down and cut off the lowest branches.
When to book a pickup
JunkRun collects holiday trees by request; the price is set on the quote form for the season, not in the item menu. A pickup suits condo residents, anyone with a flocked or artificial tree, and large trees from the older houses on Great Road. Artificial trees are not part of the town's natural-tree collection, so confirm with the DPW before putting one out. Tell us the height and whether it is flocked when you request the price. We can also take the tree and the boxes of ornament boxes in the same visit.
