Holiday tree recycling

Many groups are offering recycling services for your holiday trees and other greenery. Most of them grind up the trees for mulch, but one organization is saving them to place in streams for fish habitat restoration!

Saturday, Dec. 31, Sunday Jan. 1, Monday Jan. 2, Saturday Jan. 7, 9 am-3 pm, Milltowner Center parking lot (south of Cedar Mill Library)

Boy Scout Troop 207 will be recycling Christmas trees, wreaths. Troop 207 will also provide curbside pickup in neighborhoods near Saltzman Road between Cornell and Thompson Road.  Recommended donations are $15 per tree and $7 per wreath or garland.  Please call 503-489-4207 or logon to treerecycle.ortroop207.org to schedule a pick-up.  

Troop 207 meets at the Christ United Methodist Church in Cedar Mill.  Tree recycling is an important fundraiser for our scouts and a valuable service to our community.
