How To Recycle Your Christmas Tree in Newton
The city will start collecting trees on Jan. 6.
NEWTON, MA – Another Christmas has come and gone, and now it's time to dispose of the tree before you're wading through pine needles.
In Newton, Christmas tree pickup will run from Jan. 6 until Jan. 17. Collection will be on your assigned recycling day only.
Residents are asked to place their tree out on the curb by 7 a.m. on collection day. But the city asks that all decorations and lights be removed and the tree should not be in a bag.
