Here's How To Get Rid Of Your Christmas Tree In Bridgewater

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — With Christmas now behind us, it's about time to get rid of the tree.

In Bridgewater, the township will once again provide drop-off locations for real Christmas trees. Trees should be piled neatly and as close together as possible. All decorations, lights and plastic should be removed prior to drop-off.

Specific locations within each park will be marked with signs. Drop-off areas will be open through Friday, Jan. 28.

No curbside pickup is available from the Public Works Division.

Locations are:

• Ardmaer Park parking lot off Maple Street
• Cedarbrook Park between the playground and parking lot off Cedarbrook Road
• Chimney Rock Park parking lot off Chimney Rock Road
• Thomae Park parking lot off Nagle Street
• Residents may drop-off their Christmas trees at the Township’s Yard Waste site on 136 Foothill Road behind Costco.

If you don't want to drop off your tree, Boy Scout Troop 46 in Martinsville is offering tree pickup for a donation.

Minimum requested donation of $10 to $15. Cash or check made payable to Boy Scout Troop 46. Money raised will be used to support adventure trips as well as advancement through the ranks towards Eagle Scout.

Pick-ups will be held on Saturdays, Jan. 8, 15 and 22.

To schedule a tree pick up contact Tom Kelly tree coordinator by texting 732-597-8470 or email troop46.trees@gmail.com.

Additionally, the Somerset County Park Commission is hosting a free, live Christmas tree recycling program until the end of January 2022. Read More: Where To Recycle Your Christmas Tree In Somerset County 2021
