Christmas Tree Recycle

Boy Scout Christmas Tree Recycle Days-1/4 & 1/11 2014

Once again Brookfield Boy Scouts will be collecting and recycling Christmas trees.  Troop 5’s Christmas Tree recycling program is a convenient way to help the environment while supporting your local Boy Scout Troop. One of the reasons that Christmas trees are increasingly recycled is because they have “all natural ingredients.” They are biodegradable, and that property makes them particularly useful in a number of applications. One of the most common uses is for mulch. The tree is simply ground into mulch and then used to protect other growing plants. The mulch slowly decomposes, which provides further nutrients to the plants.

If interested in having your tree picked up and converted into mulch, please send an email with your name, phone number, address and preferred pick up date (Jan. 4 or 11, 2014) at tree@brookfieldtroop5.org and they will confirm your pickup date. Although there is a suggested donation of $10, any amount, if you are able to, is appreciated. No donation is required.
