The city schedule
The city's trash and recycling page sets two collection weeks: Monday January 4 to Friday January 8, 2027, and Monday January 18 to Friday January 22, 2027. Trees go out on your regular collection day. Do not put them in bags, and remove all decorations. Do not bury the tree in snow or ice, because the crew has to see it.
The yard waste weeks are separate and run in November and December. Questions go to the Board of Health at 781-897-5920. Keep the tree on the curb side of any snowbank so the truck can see it, and put it out the morning of your day instead of the weekend before.
When to use JUNKRUN
Pickup runs December 26 to mid January. A tree at the curb or by the door is $40; carried out of the house, up to 8 feet, $55; over 8 feet, flocked, artificial or from a second floor, $75. A second tree at the same stop is $15 off.
This is useful in a downtown condo where the tree has to come down a shared staircase, or if you are away on the city's week, or if the tree comes down the weekend after Christmas and you do not want it sitting in the hall or on the porch for two weeks.
Snow, needles and the January weeks
A tree set out on a January 4 week that gets a storm can be buried by Wednesday. Put it out the morning of your day, on top of the snowbank rather than in it. Dry needles drop fast; lay a sheet under the tree when carrying it out. Lights, tinsel and the stand must be removed before collection. If a tree is already dry and shedding in mid December, do not wait for January: the Dec 26 start of our pickups lets you take it down right after the holiday.
