Christmas Tree Drop Off

Bare Christmas Trees Only

  • Date: 01/24/2026 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM  
  • Location: Reuse & Recycling Center
    33 Ryder St
    Arlington, Massachusetts 02474
  • Introduction: One day drop off for Arlington residents. Trees only to be collected.

Location: 33 Ryder Street, the Reuse & Recycle Center 

This is a one time drop off for Christmas trees only. Please be sure your tree is bare of all decorations. No plastic is accepted, as these trees will be chipped and the wood chips will be returned to a natural environment.

No appointment is required.

No yard waste will be accepted, nor any other tree branches or natural holiday decoration.

Garlands and wreaths contain plastic rope and/or metal wire structures, making them impossible to shred along with the trees. These kinds of decorations are OK to include with your trash. If you would like to separate the natural from the synthetic material, then that natural material would be considered yard waste and can be included with yard waste when that collection begins again the week of April 15, 2024 at the curb.
