Concord residents looking to get rid of their Christmas tree will only have to drag them to the curb starting Jan. 7.
Concord’s curbside collection will run for two weeks and allows residents with curbside trash and recycling collection to easily dispose of their trees along with their trash. The collection will run through Jan. 18; trees will be picked up in a separate truck from trash and recycling.
All lights, ornaments, tinsel, and decorations must be removed. Wreaths and artificial trees will not be collected.
A resident who misses collection can also toss their trees at the transfer station located at 77 Old Turnpike Road during the month of January.
The city collected 22.79 tons of trees in January, according to city data, four tons more than what was collected in January 2017, but still below the 2016 weight of 24.57 tons.
Communication coordinator for general services Angelina Zulkic noted any snow on a tree when it was collected would affect the weight.
