Last Chance To Ditch Your Real Christmas Tree in Bridgewater

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Still have your Christmas tree up? No need to fear, Monday is your last day to get rid of it in Bridgewater.

The Township is once again providing 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 area will be open until Jan. 16 (Martin Luther King’s Birthday).

No curbside pickup is available from the Public Works Department.

Locations include:

• Ardmear 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. Somerset County collects Christmas Trees at North Branch Park off Milltown Road, follow signs.
