Republic Services will begin collecting the route at 7 am on Monday, Jan. 10, 2022, and finish the route by the end of the week.
Residents must remove all decorations. Trees should not be bagged or attached to a tree stand.
Trees are going to Bedford’s compost site, so any bags, tree stands, decorations present a hazard for our Town employees when the trees are chipped and are problematic for the composting process.
If your tree has not been collected by the end of the day on Friday, Jan 14th, please report a missed collection directly to Republic Services at (800)442-9006.
