How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree In Lawrenceville

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — As we get ready to ring in the New Year, it might be time to think about disposing of your seasonal centerpiece - the Christmas tree.

Lawrence Township reminds residents that it is not permissible to dispose of the Christmas trees through open burning or bonfires, based on guidance from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP).

The burning of Christmas tree wood, as opposed to safe wood burning, reduces air quality by creating additional smoke and matter, that can increase the risk of wildfires in some areas.

The NJDEP suggests more sustainable disposal methods, like chipping, mulching, and/or dune construction.
