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 weekend. That means, if you haven’t removed your ornaments and lights yet, you’ll need to do that by Friday night.
Pickups will take place the morning of Saturday, January 6, 2024.
For most of us, it’s just a flat $15 fee for any Christmas tree to be hauled away. But the Scouts offer to do it for free each year for seniors, veterans, and members of the Police and Fire departments.
To schedule your pickup, email troop1trees@gmail.com or call 617-894-7141.
Requests will be taken until 7:00 pm this Friday, January 5th. Be sure to provide your name, phone number, and address.
Your donation should be in a plastic bag clipped or taped to the top of the tree. (Or, you can pay through Venmo.)
The trees must be left at the end of your driveway by 9:00 am that morning.
