Last season's rules
The town notice for last season, which we could not re-read on the current page, said trees went out on trash day the weeks of Jan 5-9 and Jan 12-16, 2026, bare (no decorations, no lights) and unbagged, curbside by 7 a.m. Expect something similar, and confirm with DPW at 617-846-1341 ext. 2609 once dates are posted.
What the town page lists for 2027 will govern; we can't promise the same weeks.
A coastal Winthrop street can be icy in January; carry the tree with a sheet around it and set it by the bins. Two weeks is a short window if a snowstorm hits the first Tuesday.
Missed the window?
JUNKRUN's tree pickup is $40 for a tree already at the curb or door, $55 from inside (up to 8 ft) and $75 for a tree over 8 ft, flocked, artificial or carried from a second floor; a second tree at the same stop is $15 off. The season is Dec 26 to mid January. These holiday prices are still a draft in our system, so confirm when you text.
