Town of East Hartford Christmas Tree Disposal Guidelines

East Hartford, CT— East Hartford Public Works crews will be picking up Christmas trees from Monday, December 27, 2021 through Friday, January 7, 2022, weather-permitting. Collection of the trees generally occurs on the same day as trash collection. Trees should be placed on the curb near trash bins with no plastic bags or decorations.

Should the curbside collection be delayed due to snow or unforeseen circumstances, residents are asked to leave the trees at the curb. Please do not remove them from the curb. Residents are also encouraged to bring their Christmas trees to the Transfer Station on Ecology Drive for disposal. Residents are not required to have a bulky waste permit when only delivering Christmas trees. 

Normal Transfer Station hours are Monday, Tuesday and Friday 7:15 a.m. to noon and 12:30 p.m. to 2:45 P.M. Saturdays 8:00 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. first and third Saturdays of the month, holidays excluded.
