LACEY, NJ Local parks, including one in Lacey, are accepting Christmas tree donations through Jan. 31.
Trees that are donated can be turned into woodchips for landscaping projects in Ocean County parks. In the past, recycled trees have also helped towns replenish their beach dunes.

LBI REGION, NJ - Ocean County residents are being encouraged to make recycling their Christmas trees part of their holiday cleanup. “Recycling trees is an easy way for residents to get rid of their tree after the holiday,” said Ocean County Freeholder Director Joseph H. Vicari. “Many of our park facilities are accepting drop-offs, making it accessible all across the County.” “For many years now we have accepted discarded Christmas trees for recycling at several of our county parks,” said Ocean County Freeholder Virginia E. Haines, who serves as Chairwoman to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. “I want to remind everyone that it is important to recycle all year long, but especially during the busy holiday season too.”
