Here's How Cinnaminson Residents Can Recycle Their Christmas Tree

CINNAMINSON, NJ — Burlington County officials are encouraging Cinnaminson residents to bring their real or live Christmas trees to the Burlington County Resource Recovery Complex at 22000 Burlington-Columbus Road on the Florence-Mansfield border where they will be chipped and composted.

Burlington County offers its Treecycling service at the complex Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to noon. The complex cannot recycle artificial, bagged or flocked trees. All stands, lights, tinsel, wires, ornaments and garland must be removed.

“With the holidays now over, many residents are now packing up their holiday decorations and taking down their trees,” Burlington County Commissioner Tom Pullion, liaison to the Department of Solid Waste and Recycling, said. “We want to remind everyone that this treecycling service is available free of charge. It’s the green way to ring in 2021, and it also helps save money for our municipalities by reducing the amount of waste entering our landfills.”

Cinnaminson residents can contact the township concerning tree collection. For more information on the county’s recycling program, call 609-499-1001, ext. 271 or 272 or email recycle@co.burlington.nj.us.
