Ridgefield Boy Scout Troop 116 will collect Christmas trees for recycling on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Families looking for assistance in having their tree removed and recycled may reserve a pick-up online. Tree should be left at the end of the driveway by 6:30 a.m. that morning.
Last year, more than 85 scouts, alumni, and their families worked a full day to collect trees that were chipped and resulted in nine tons of mulch.
The troop is suggesting a $17 donation per tree. The funds collected help support the troop’s activities such as High Adventure and community service projects.
The troop also donates a portion to Boy Scouts of America and to local Ridgefield conservation projects.
