East Pikeland Township Residents
According to the township website:
Residents have two choices on how to recycle their tree:
Township Public Works Crew will conduct a curbside pickup of trees Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 2 p.m. OR drop the tree off yourself at the Township's Recycling Yard, Location B, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Whether you participate in the drop-off or curbside tree recycling program please remember to remove all tinsel and ornaments from the tree, do not wrap the tree in plastic (it will not be picked up). Also, do not place the tree at your curbside with your trash, your hauler will take it and it will not be recycled. Any questions, call 610-933-1770. The trees we collect will be recycled into wood mulch that is available to Township residents in the Spring.
