Boy Scout troops will collect and recycle Christmas trees 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 8 in Kent neighborhoods for a $5 donation.<\/p>\n
Trees must be placed outside by 8 a.m. Jan. 8 to ensure pickup.<\/p>\n
Residents also can take the trees between 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 8 to the Service Club Ballfields, 14608 S.E. 288th St. Scouts will unload trees and take donations. Trees with tinsel and\/or flock cannot be accepted.<\/p>\n
The collection site was changed this season to the Service Club Ballfields from Russell Road Park.<\/p>\n
The program helps keep trees out of landfills, and provides a stockpile of chips for use by the city parks department to mulch new plants and maintain trails in the parks system.<\/p>\n
The city also will provide free curbside pickup of Christmas trees for residential households the week of Jan. 10-14. You must be a current garbage customer to be eligible. Customers should have received a flyer in the mail after Dec. 23 with details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
