The Department of Environmental Protection’s Recycling and Resource Management Division advises residents of single-family homes, who receive county-provided collection service, to place their live trees at the curb on their regular recycling collection day. Businesses and residents of apartments and condominiums should check with their property/business managers or representatives for specific Christmas tree recycling instructions.
The trees are given a new life after being composted or chipped for mulch. For more information on Christmas tree recycling visit the DEP website.
