MALDEN, MA — Malden will provide curbside pickup of Christmas trees the week of Jan. 6-10. Trees should be placed curbside on your regular trash day.

Since the trees will be recycled for composting and put through a chipping machine, they must be free of decorations, garland, tinsel and wire and cannot be placed in a plastic bag.

Trees may also be brought to the DPW, 356 Commercial St., Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon. No wreaths will be picked up.
