The Christmas tree collection program saves the cost of garbage disposal, since the township is charged by weight to remove bulk items.
The Department of Public Works provides an additional environmentally friendly aspect to the collection program. DPW employees chip the trees into mulch, which is made available to residents for pickup at no cost. The mulch created from the trees can be used in flower beds and garden borders. The DPW collected and recycled nearly 2,000 Christmas trees last year.
