Last Day To Recycle Christmas Trees In Warren Township Is Sunday

WARREN, NJ - The new year is upon us, and Christmas tree recycling is coming to an end in Warren Township.

Residents’ last day to recycle Christmas trees through the free program is Sunday, Jan. 15, according to a statement from municipal officials. Christmas trees can be brought to the municipal ball fields for recycling.

All decorations must be removed from the trees before recycling, the statement reads.

The Warren Boy Scout Troop 228 is offering a Christmas Tree Pickup service for a donation of $15 for a pickup date of Jan. 13. Interested residents can click here to register for the pickup program.

The Somerset County Park Commission will also be hosting a tree recycling program free-of-charge until Jan. 31, 2023. Trees can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at one of two locations:

• North Branch Park located at 355 Milltown Road, at the lighted baseball field, (Bridgewater)
• Colonial Park Gardens, located at 156 Mettlers Road, Parking Lot F, in Somerset (Franklin Township)

The recycled trees will be used for mulch and woodchips throughout the park system, officials said. Free mulch will be available at the drop-off sites on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Only natural trees will be accepted at Somerset County Park Commission drop-off sites, and only one tree per family will be accepted. Trees must be free of ornaments, wires, netting, and tinsel. Recycling wreaths and garlands also won’t be recycled.
