Malden Christmas Tree Collection Starts Soon

MALDEN, MA — Malden residents needing to get rid of their 2022 Christmas trees have options to do so this month through city Christmas tree collection services.

Malden will run curbside pickup of natural (real) Christmas trees from Jan. 9 through Jan. 13.

Residents must place their trees curbside for pickup on their regular waste collection day. Trees must be free of decorations, garland, tinsel and wire. Trees also cannot be placed in a plastic bag, as they will be put into a chipping machine, officials said in an announcement last week.

Malden residents with real Christmas trees can alternatively bring their trees to the city’s Department of Public Works (DPW) facility at 356 Commercial St. for disposal Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The DPW site is also open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.

Anyone seeking more information on Malden tree collection and disposal services can contact the Malden DPW by phone at 781-397-7160 or by email at lsanderson@cityofmalden.org.
