The Danvers January tree pickup

The town's yard waste page shows a single Saturday curbside tree collection in January (Saturday, January 10 in 2026). Trees go out bare, without lights, tinsel or ornaments, and in no plastic bag; the town's yard waste rules do not accept plastic bags, and yard waste must be at the curb by 7 a.m. The 2027 date had not been posted, so check danversma.gov/382/Yard-Waste-Pickup or call the DPW at 978-777-0001 in early December. Put the tree on the curb the evening before the Saturday, since collection starts early.

A tree put out after that Saturday, or one that missed the date, has no town pickup until next year.

If you miss the Saturday or have a large tree

The Transfer Station at 1 East Coast Rd accepts yard waste with a $15 calendar-year sticker, but a full-size tree is awkward to move and the lot is for residents only. JUNKRUN takes trees from December 26 to mid January at $40 at the curb, $55 carried from inside up to 8 feet, and $75 for trees over 8 feet, flocked, artificial or on a second floor.

Each extra tree at the same stop is $15 off. Tree pickup is its own service at those tree prices, and you can add a couch, boxes or a quarter trailer at regular junk prices in the same stop.

Danvers needle and weather note

A dry tree sheds needles up stairs and down hallways in most Cape and Colonial floor plans in the area. Wrap it in a tree bag or old sheet before carrying out, and take the bag back inside. A tree left at the curb in a January snow gets buried and can miss pickup, so brush off the snow the night before. Do not block the sidewalk or drainage grate with the tree; plows push snowbanks onto Danvers curbs in January and a buried tree is easy to miss.
