WALTHAM, MA — The winter holidays are now in the rearview, meaning people across the country are all probably wondering the same thing: Do we need to take the decorations down?

They always come down eventually, and Waltham is prepared to handle your Christmas tree disposal in 2025.

The city runs a curbside pick-up service for trees and operates three drop-off sites for three weeks following Christmas day.

Drop-off locations include:
