Twp. Fire Department Accepting Christmas Trees
Chatham Disposal will collect trees in a curbside collection on Jan. 12.
Chatham Township residents have three ways of disposing of their Christmas trees this year.
As usual, Chatham Disposal, which does curbside waste pickup for most residents in the township, will collect Christmas trees on the second Saturday in January. This year, that's Jan. 12.
If you don't want to wait that long, however, there are other options.
