Here's Where You Can Put Your Christmas Tree In Livingston

LIVINGSTON, NJ — O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree — where shall I put you when the holiday's over?

It's hard to part with one's delightful holiday decorations and accept that the season has ended, but Livingston has spelled out the rules for recycling your tree and trimmings.

Here is what the town says:

• Christmas trees are picked up weekdays through Jan. 31 each year.
• Pickups are made Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

In January of each year, Livingston’s Department of Public Works conducts a program to collect and recycle Christmas trees.

Leave your undecorated cut tree at the curb, just as you do for your recycling.

Public Works Department employees will remove and recycle the trees. Once collected, the trees are put through a chipper. The resulting untreated wood chips can then be made available to residents for pickup at no cost. The untreated wood chips created from the trees can be used in
flower beds and garden borders.

The Christmas tree collection program saves the cost of garbage disposal, since the Township is charged by weight to remove bulk items.
