Unfortunately, we are not able to take your Christmas tree with your regular trash. As is true with yard waste, we just don’t have a proper way to dispose of it for you as we can’t mix those materials with the regular trash.
Boy Scout Troop 407 is offering tree removal for a donation to the Scout’s trip in July to the Scout Philmont Ranch in New Mexico. They are picking trees up on January 7th for residents in Amherst, Milford and Mont Vernon (and I bet if you called them they may consider some neighboring towns).
To schedule your pick-up please call Matt Carl at 603 672-7261 or email the troop at Troop407trees@hotmail.com.
If this solution is not available to you, many of the other area troops have their pick-ups set for this weekend and next and there are several local organizations that do take trees for a suggested donation.
Check the local papers and Google for your town and organizations. Sorry we can’t be of more help. This is one of the few items that stumps us – get it! – every year.
Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!
