The city is offering free Christmas tree pickup starting on Jan. 6 for residents with curbside trash and recycling.
Christmas trees will be collected for two weeks on regular trash and recycling days through Jan. 17.
Trees must be placed at the curb with residential trash and recycling by 7 a.m. All lights, ornaments, tinsel, and decorations must be completely removed from the tree.
Wreaths and artificial trees will not be collected. Trees will be collected in a separate truck from trash and recycling, so items may be collected at different times.
Trees can also be taken to the Concord Transfer Station at 77 Old Turnpike Road during the month of January. The transfer station is open Monday through Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day.
