Clear Out Your Christmas Clutter In Milton

MILTON, MA — A week after the presents were unwrapped and the Christmas tree branches are seriously starting to droop it's time to clear out the house from all that leftover holiday cheer. Milton residents can use the recycling center and tree curbside pickup next week to get things back in order for the rest of the winter.

Milton will be picking up Christmas trees curbside during regular trash collection during the week of Jan. 6. Residents are asked to remove all ornaments, lights and stand from the tree, and have it on the street by 7 a.m.
