Christmas tree pickup in TewksburyChristmas treepickup inTewksbury.

What is and is not published

The town's yard waste page says trees must be tinsel- and ornament-free and placed curbside before 7 am on your street's pickup day, and that residents should consult the recycling calendar. The previous guide described tree pickup as one week only in January, trees at the curb by 7 am Monday, with stands and plastic bags not allowed and trees over six feet cut in half. The 2026-27 calendar is a scanned image, which we could not read text from, so the week of January 18-22, 2027 is a reading, not a confirmed town statement.

The town links no January 2027 drop-off site.

If your tree misses the week

Trees left past the one pickup week stay on the curb until next year unless you move them. Options: cut it to bundles for the spring branch weeks, cut it up for Krochmal Farms (their page lists leaves and grass, so ask before bringing a tree), or include it in a JunkRun load.

A tree on its own is booked at our tree prices ($40 at the curb, $55 from inside, $75 for large or artificial trees). With an artificial tree, boxes of broken ornaments and a pile of wrapping cardboard, it fits easily inside a quarter load at $209. Trim lights from the branches first; they snag on chippers and are not wanted in the town pickup.
