The DPW drop-off weekends

The A to Z disposal guide lists Christmas trees under 'Seasonal Announcement', with no standing drop-off. The last announcement, posted December 30, 2025, said the Plymouth DPW was offering free Christmas tree disposal for Plymouth residents. Where: behind the Wastewater Treatment Plant at 131 Camelot Drive. When: Saturdays January 3 and 10 and Sundays January 4 and 11, 2026, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Proof of residency was required.

That is 2026's schedule and it is past. The town has not posted 2027 weekends. The 2026 announcement went up on December 30, 2025. Confirm any 2027 dates with the DPW at 508-830-4162 ext. 12100 before loading the car.

Prepping the tree

Trees must be free of decorations, including tinsel, and no bagged trees are accepted. Take lights, hooks and stands off. A tree that went home in a plastic tree bag has to come out of it. The announcement also says the program is weather dependent, so check the town's News & Updates page the week before.

The Manomet Transfer Station does not take trees: its guide lists brush and branches as not accepted, and the tree line points to the seasonal announcement.

Missed the weekend, or no way to haul it

Plymouth's tree weekends are narrow: four days, about six hours each, at the town's edge, with residency proof. If you miss them, the tree has nowhere free to go until the next announcement. JUNKRUN takes a tree with other items as part of a flat-price load: quarter trailer $209, half $319, minimum $159.

We load a tree with the rest, from the porch or the side yard, in any Plymouth village from Manomet to West Plymouth. No travel fee.
