Free Tree Giveaway At Horsham EcoVent

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — The township is holding its 2nd annual EcoVent on Saturday, which includes a free tree giveaway.

The event runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Horsham Township Municipal Complex

Township officials said five different types of tree species are available, so residents should choose their tree species before coming to the event.

The trees range from 4 feet to 6 feet tall with a 14-inch ball. Residents will need to bring the proper vehicle/supplies to transport the tree to their properties. Tarps, trash bags, or blankets for debris inside your vehicle are also recommended.

If the tree does not entirely fit inside your vehicle, residents should bring something to wrap the tree and cover the branches to protect the leaves and buds, such as bungee cords, rope, or straps to secure your tree.

Tree protection will also be offered. Depending on the tree species, a trunk cage or trunk tube will be given out free of charge.

Information on planting and care for your tree will be available when you pick up your tree and on our website.

Residents can also bring their paper shredding and E-Waste for recycling.

EcoVent is a drive-through event, meaning that residents must stay in their vehicles and wait for volunteers to assist them.

All residents must show proof of Horsham Township residency to receive a free tree.

Mobile Shredding — Residents can come shred and recycle their unwanted personal papers and documents safely, securely, and for free. Residents must have their paper materials accessible from the backseat/trunk. There are no binder clips, no plastic bags, and a four-box maximum or equivalent only.

Electronic Recycling — Acceptable e-waste items: Most electronic devices or accessories, including TVs, computers, monitors, and mobile phones. Most items can be recycled for free. A list of items can also be recycled for a fee.
