Holiday trees placed curbside will continue to be picked up with yard waste collection each Tuesday in January. This year that falls on January 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th.

The trees are picked up by the Borough Public Works Department and delivered to Abington Township where they are ground into mulch with other yard waste, which is then made available to Borough and Township residents free of cost.

Please be sure to remove all lights, ornaments and tinsel before placing the tree curbside so that the process of turning the trees into usable mulch will not be negatively affected.
