  Christmas Tree Collection (Dec 28-Jan 8)
  Winter Seasonal Fire Safety Tips      Post Tree Recycling Flyer  
 
What? Weather permitting, bare trees will be collected from residents for recycling. Remove stand and decorations. Do not put in a plastic bag.
When?

Monday, December 28, 2009 through Friday January 8, 2010. Place bare trees at the curb by 7am on collection day or after 6pm the night before.

Why? Christmas trees collected during this time don't get buried or burned. Last year, City residents recycled over 4700 trees. The chipped trees was used as mulch in natural areas in Cambridge.
