Start The New Year Off Green

Boston Public Works Department will pick up your Christmas tree for free on recycling day during the first two full weeks of January (weeks of Jan 7 and Jan 14, 2019). The trees will be shredded for compost and will give new life to park plantings in the spring.  

What to do: Remove all ornaments and decorations. Place your tree on the curb by 7 am. If you have twice weekly recycling, trees will be picked up on the first recycling day.
