Who runs it
The town's April 2026 recycling guide lists Christmas trees under the Westford Fire Fighters Association, which holds its annual collection around January 7-8 and refers to westfordfirefighters.com for details. It is a fundraiser, not a town service, so the town does not publish a tree route or a deadline. The guide gives only the approximate dates and the association's website, so the sign-up details and any donation come from them.
An older local report, which we could not re-open, said the association collected on January 8 and 9 for a $10 donation, and its funds supported scholarships. We could not confirm the 2027 donation.
What past dates look like
An earlier Westford community calendar listing, which we could not re-open, showed the 33rd annual pick-up for Saturday, January 11 and Sunday, January 12, 2025. The pattern is an early January weekend, but the weekend moves, and the guide says only around January 7-8. Because no 2027 date is published, we have not put one on this page.
The trees must have all decorations, lights and stands removed. Check westfordfirefighters.com in December for a sign-up form and the cutoff, and take the tree down no later than the Friday before the weekend so you can bring it to the curb in time. If you cannot, use the backup below.
A backup if you miss the weekend
If the weekend falls before you take the tree down, or the tree is on a second floor, JunkRun can take it. We carry it out wrapped and recycle it, and we can combine it with other items on the same stop. Regular junk pickups have a $159 minimum and a quarter trailer is $209; tree-only pickups start at $40 at the curb, Dec 26 to mid January. Westford has no town drop-off for trees, so after the volunteer weekend we found no town tree route, and a hauler is the practical fallback.
