The Montgomery Township Department of Public Works will be starting curbside Christmas tree collection on Monday, January 14, 2019.  Please do not wait to put your tree(s) out. If your section of town happens to be collected first, it is possible that trees placed to the curb after January 14 th may not be picked up.

This collection takes several weeks and is dependent upon the weather, so please be patient.

As an alternative, you may drop off your tree at the Department of Public Works site, located at 12 Harlingen Road. This site is available for drop off at any hour, or day, starting December 26, 2018 until January 31, 2019.  All trees either to be picked up or dropped off must be free of tinsel and ornaments.

Regular tree limbs/brush may be brought to the Public Works yard without charge but ONLY during the regular Saturday drop-off dates from 8 am to 12 noon.  There is a container facility day on January 12 th, 2019.  If you have any questions, contact the Department of Public Works at (908) 874-3144.

Somerset County Recycling Division began to gradually roll out a new Curbside Recycling practice and equipment, which will be completely implemented County-wide within the next four years. Every household will be receiving two new 65 gallon recycling "totes" on wheels, which look similar to most trash hauler receptacles. They have wheels to easily move around and have color-coded lids that are permanently attached (see illustrations below).  This improvement to ergonomics will protect recycling pickup workers and is part of a new dual stream recycling process which will be used by Somerset County.

A second section of Montgomery will receive its totes Friday, January 18, 2019 and use will begin with Friday, February 1, 2019 pick-up.  This second section includes Southeastern Montgomery households ( see map).   No other sections of Montgomery are subject to the upgrade at this time.  When your totes are dropped off you will also receive a letter from Somerset County Recycling Division with detailed instructions.
