Christmas Tree Recycling

The city of Somerville does Christmas tree recycling starting January 7. Does anyone know if this is a one week only event or if they will still be collecting Christmas trees next week?

not an answer to your question, but..

on the tree removal topic, Wilson Farm in Lexington accepts x-mas trees for recycling until Jan 14th I think.

Does Somerville definitely recycle/compost them or do they get added to the regular trash?

The last couple of years they collected trees throughout January.

I don't expect it to be any different this year.

Just please remember to remove the Christmas Tree garbage bag. They will NOT take trees with the bag on.

This press release on the Journal website says "Beginning the week of Jan. 7, and running through the end of January, residents may place their trees curbside on their regular trash collection day for pickup."

Why do people ask these questions here instead of calling 311?
Because it works: DSLJ members have the answers!

Even though Ron monitors the city site pretty closely, I think I'm just going to add him to the press release distribution list. If he deems the information group-worthy, he can post it here.
