Now that the holiday season is in the books, the Hull Department of Public Works will launch its annual Christmas tree collection next week.

Tree pickups began on Monday, January 5.

• All trees must be at the side of the road by 7 a.m. during the week of collection.

• All metal and ornaments must be removed from the tree.

• No wreaths of any kind will be collected.

This collection schedule will be followed as closely as possible:

January 5-9: Pemberton area to X Street

January 12-16: X Street to A Street

January 19-23: A Street to Monument Square

January 26-January 30: Whitehead Ave. to Wharf Avenue to Hingham/Cohasset line, including Rockaway and Rockaway Annex.

Weather conditions will play an important part in whether crews can keep this schedule. Any delays caused by weather will result in an adjustment to the pickup days. If you miss your week of collection, you can bring your tree to the DPW barn at 9 Nantasket Ave., at West Corner. Residents may drop off trees between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Friday. Please be aware that construction vehicles are frequently entering and exiting, so be careful.

For more information, call the DPW at 781-925-0900.
