How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree In Andover
The town offers curbside tree pickup as part of regular weekly bulk item collection.
ANDOVER, MA —It's pretty easy to get rid of your Christmas tree in Andover — simply leave it out uncovered on your normal pickup day. Your tree qualifies as your weekly bulk item.
The tree must be free of decorations and stands and if it's more than seven feet tall, you need to cut it in half. The town will not pick up trees frozen in snow banks.
There are no start or stop dates for tree pickup, so if yours is in good shape and you'd like to keep it around, you can.

"The holiday season results in the highest trash volume of the year. Trash must take priority over trees if volumes, weather or other factor threaten the completion of daily trash routes. Trees left will be picked up at a later date," the town's trash and recycling FAQ notes.
