Township Will Collect Christmas Trees
Christmas
trees will be collected Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to
4:00 pm from January 1 through January 30. Christmas trees may
be left at the curb for pick-up.
By
recycling Christmas trees the township is saving on the cost of
garbage disposal, as the municipality is charged by weight to
remove bulk items. In addition, through this program the township
is adding another environmentally friendly initiative.
The
Department of Public works (DPW) employees will chip the trees
into mulch and make it available to residents for pick-up, at
no cost, while supplies last. Call the DPW at 973-535-7931 to
schedule a pick up of mulch. The mulch created from the trees
can be used in flower beds and garden borders. Any extra mulch
will be used around various township gardens.
Public
Works superintendent Michael Anello announced, “The Township
is very pleased to offer this service to residents as an enhancement
to our current recycling programs.
