Christmas tree pickup in Billerica
Pickup at your Billerica home, Dec 26 to mid January, seven days a week. Flat price texted before we come.
- $40 at the curb
- $55 from inside
- $75 large or artificial
- $15 off a second tree
Dates and prep from the 2026-27 guide
The curbside week is January 4-8, 2027; the guide does not name a weekday for trees. The town allows real trees only, with no decorations, no stands and no tree bags. Wreaths are the exception to the tree route: bag them and put them in the blue trash cart. The drop-off at 250 Boston Road runs from December 26 to January 30, which is the safer choice if you leave trees on the lawn into the second week of January.
Before you pick a day, check the date against your collection day: trash runs Monday to Friday, so your tree could be picked up as early as Monday January 4 or as late as Friday January 8.
If you miss the window
A dry tree sheds needles all the way to the curb, and a six-foot tree in a snowbank can be tough to move. JunkRun picks up a tree on its own at $40 at the curb, $55 from inside or $75 for large or artificial trees, from Dec 26 to mid January. It also fits alongside clearing a boxed-up holiday storage pile, an old artificial tree or a broken storage shed panel.
The tree must be undecorated either way, so strip tinsel, lights and hooks first. Flocked trees and trees sprayed with fake snow are not mentioned in the guide; ask Waste Management at 800-972-4545 if yours is flocked.
