How the two-week window works
The town gives a narrow window, and there is no separate drop-off listed. Trees are only collected during those weeks, so do not count on a pickup for a tree set out earlier or later. Remove the stand, bags, tinsel, lights and ornaments: the calendar says no bags or stands, trees only. If your usual collection is on the recycling day, ask the DPW at 617-993-2680 which weekday applies to your street before putting the tree out. The calendar graphic marks January 5 to 15 while its text says January 4 to 14, so treat the first week as the safe target and confirm which weekday your street falls on.
Snow and street conditions
Leave the tree on the lawn edge, not in the plow path, and clear any snowbank so crews reach it. Trees laid on a driveway apron are often buried and then missed. If a storm covers the collection day, expect the DPW to adjust, and re-check the town page rather than assume the tree will be picked up.
What counts as a collectible tree
Does the tree need to be cut up?
+
The calendar does not ask for cutting. Keep it whole and bare.
Can I leave the stand on?
+
No. The 2026-2027 calendar says no bags or stands.
What about wreaths and garland?
+
They are not mentioned on the calendar. Cut them off and bundle as yard waste only if the DPW confirms, or put them in the trash.
What if I miss the window?
+
A trailer load of a tree plus other debris starts at $209 with JunkRun,.
