CORRECTION: How To Dispose of Your Christmas Tree in Hamilton and Wenham

HAMILTON-WENHAM, MA -

Editor’s note: We incorrectly stated that there would be a bonfire in 2016, but there will not. We apologize for the error. The correct info is below.

The presents are open, the stockings unstuffed and now the Christmas tree you carefully picked out simply sheds needles and takes up space in the corner of your living room.

For Hamilton and Wenham residents, you only have the option of recycling your tree this year. There will not be a traditional bonfire.

The Wenham DPW has graciously offered Pingree Park as the drop off site this year. Brick End Farm will donate $1 to Hamilton Wenham Green for each tree composted and Iron Tree Service is donating the chipping time. Your tree must be at Pingree Park by Saturday, Jan. 9. Make sure the tree is stripped of ornaments and lights. No wreaths will be be accepted.

Neither town provides curbside tree pickup.
