When you're ready to take down the decorations, here's how to dispose of your tree in Mendham and Chester.
MENDHAM, NJ — Are you ready to take down your fresh-cut Christmas tree, but you're not sure what to do with it now that the season is over?
Christmas trees are collected from the curbside in many urban and suburban regions throughout January, as long as all lights, wire, tinsel, ornaments, nails and stands are removed.
In most cases, the trees are chipped and turned into mulch, which is then made available to municipal or county residents for free.

Fire officials recommend that live trees be disposed of after Christmas or when they become dry. According to the National Fire Protection Association, dried-out trees pose a fire hazard and can burn much faster than watered trees.
In Mendham and Chester, typically Christmas trees are accepted curbside a few days during January; confirm dates with the township and borough.
