Christmas tree removal and pickup in Southern NH and Northern MA

Christmas tree removal with Rocky’s usually runs $35 to $95. Where your tree lands in that range depends on its size, whether it’s real or artificial, how far we carry it, and whether anything else goes with it. Text us a photo and we’ll give you the price before we start.

Yes. Most towns won’t take a fake tree with their real tree pickup, so it ends up as bulky trash with its own fee or booking. We take it, box and all, and a fake tree in good shape gets donated.

In our area, Nashua, Manchester, Haverhill, North Andover, Andover, and Tewksbury collect trees at the curb, usually for one day to two weeks in January. Salem, Windham, Derry, Londonderry, Pelham, Hudson, Bedford, Methuen, and Dracut don’t, so residents use the transfer station or a drop off site. The town table on this page links to each town’s rules.

Not in the trash. New Hampshire bans yard waste from landfills and incinerators, so real trees go to town tree pickup, the town transfer station, or a hauler like Rocky’s. Take off the lights, ornaments, tinsel, and stand first. Artificial trees are bulky trash or donation.

Most Massachusetts towns collect trees separately from trash in January and chip them. Take off the tinsel, lights, ornaments, and stand. Wreaths usually go in the trash because of the wire frame, and old lights go to e-waste or scrap metal. If your town has no pickup or you missed it, Rocky’s comes to you.

Real trees never go in the trash. Fake trees in good shape get donated. Lights, stands, and other metal go to scrap recycling, and only what’s left goes to a licensed transfer station.

No. Our two-person crew carries it out from wherever it’s standing, stairs included. Take off any ornaments you want to keep and we handle the rest.

Call or text us. We run 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week, and can usually get there the same day.

Yes, on the same trip. Stands, wreaths, broken lights, empty boxes, and the decorations you’re done with all go on the truck together.

If the tree is already outside and we’ve agreed on a price, no. If it’s inside, someone needs to let us in: a relative, a neighbor, or whoever has the key.

Not a real one. New Hampshire bans yard waste from landfills and incinerators, and Massachusetts towns collect trees separately from trash. Wreaths are different: the wire frame means they usually go in the trash.

Dry trees catch fire easily. The National Fire Protection Association says to get rid of the tree after Christmas or once it’s dry, and not to leave it in the garage or leaning against the house.
