Press release from Town of Arlington: 01/10/2022 2:30 PM Staff shortages due to COVID-19 continue. JRM will continue to prioritize the collection of trash and recycling. As you are able, please keep trees off the curb until your collection day next week, which will be on a holiday collection schedule. Trees left on the curb are more likely to blow around our streets and public ways, as well as become a hazard if we have a snow event that requires plowing. Residents who would like to drop off their tree on Saturday Jan. 15th, please make an appointment. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience, and ask for your continued patience as we navigate the health and safety constraints around us.  Be sure your tree is prepared correctly: No stand or decorations No plastic bag Must not be frozen to the ground or covered in snow Trees that are not prepared correctly cannot be collected and will be the responsibility of the resident to dispose of. A one day drop off is scheduled on Saturday morning, January 15 9 AM to 12 PM  33 Ryder Street  Bare Christmas trees only, no stands or decorations, no plastics No yard waste No decorative greenery (these should go in the trash is it has wire and plastic/paint, or can be included as yard waste next spring if all of the non-organic material is removed) Arlington residents only, free, no registration required This press release was produced by Town of Arlington.
