Moorestown To Collect Christmas Trees At Brush Pickup

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Christmas trees in Moorestown will be collected during the township’s regularly scheduled brush pickup, township officials announced this week. Trees must be void of all lights, ornaments, decorations, tinsel, etc.

The trash company will not pick up live trees, but any Moorestown resident who doesn’t want to wait for brush pickup to dispose of their tree can take their tree to the Creek Road Facility.

It is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and every other Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. A paper permit is needed to use the Creek Road Facility, and can be picked up for free at the Public Works building.

For more information, contact the Department of Public Works at 856-235-3520, opt #2. To learn more about brush pickup, visit the township website.

Burlington County is also encouraging residents to bring their live Christmas trees to the Burlington County Resource Recovery Complex at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road in Florence to be chipped and composted.

Burlington County’s “Treecycle” service is offered at the complex Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon. The complex cannot recycle artificial, bagged or flocked trees. All stands, lights, tinsel, wires, ornaments and garland must also be removed.

Holiday lights should not be discarded in recycling cans but can also be brought to the Resource Recovery Complex to be recycled.

“With the holidays now over, many residents are now packing up their holiday decorations and taking down their trees,” Burlington County Director Tom Pullion, the Board of Commissioners' liaison to the Department of Solid Waste and Recycling, said. “We want to remind everyone that our county’s treecycling service is available free of charge. It’s a sustainable way to ring in 2022, and it also helps save money for our municipalities by reducing the amount of waste entering our landfill.”
