Eventually, anyone who had the joy of decorating a live Christmas tree has the less fun task of getting rid of it. As they do every year, the Boy Scouts are offering to help.
Southborough’s Troop 1 will haul away your for trees for Southborough residents this Saturday morning. That means, if you haven’t removed your ornaments and lights yet, you’ll need to do that by Friday night.
The Boy Scouts and parents will be making pickups (in town only) starting at 9:00 am on January 11th.
For most of us, it’s a flat $15 fee for any tree. But the Scouts offer to do it for free each year for seniors, veterans, and members of the Police and Fire departments.
This year, organizers have created an online signup option. To schedule your pickup click here. Requests will be taken until 7:00 pm the night before.
If you don’t want to use the form, you can also still email troop1trees@gmail.com — but be sure to provide your name, phone number, and address.
The trees must be left at the end of your driveway by 9:00 am that morning.
To pay for the pickup, either clip/tape a plastic bag with the money, or Venmo @BSATroop1Sobo (noting Christmas Tree pickup in the memo field).
