Christmas tree pickup, January 2027
Danvers has historically held one curbside Christmas tree pickup on a Saturday in January, run by DPW. No 2027 date confirmed. Rules below are from a Jan 2022 news report, not 2026. Source
Last year: Earlier project research (Oct 31, 2026) recorded Saturday Jan 10, 2026 on the town yard waste page; not re-verified today because the site blocks automated access. Local news (Patch) shows one Saturday pickup in other years, e.g. Jan 8, 2022.
Rules
- Tree bare, no ornaments, lights, stand, plastic bags or tinsel
- At the curb by 7 a.m.
