Christmas Tree Pickup in Everett, MAChristmas treepickup inEverett.

What we could and could not confirm

Everett's city pages cover trash, a bi-weekly yard waste program and mattress and white goods stickers. They did not mention trees. The yard waste program accepts small branches that are tied, not taped, which does not fit a whole tree, and large branches go through the mulcher truck by phone at 617-394-2270. Before January, call 3-1-1 to ask whether the truck will take a tree and on which day. Do not leave a tree on the curb until the city confirms a day, because nothing on the pages we read shows a rule either way.

Trees in a triple-decker

A tree from a second or third floor is a stairwell job: the needles shed, the trunk catches on the turn and the stand has to come off first. Take lights, ornaments and the stand off before pickup. JunkRun collects trees from Dec 26 to mid January. Artificial trees and very large trees are handled the same way. For a bare tree at ground level, you can also ask neighbors whether the building has a shared compost or yard waste barrel; check with the city first.
