While we haven’t received updates from Mountlake Terrace scout troops on recycling efforts, two Lynnwood-based troops have scheduled events this weekend.

Troop 49 will be accepting recycled trees on Jan. 8-9 at the Alderwood Boys and Girls Club, located at 19719 24th Ave. W. Pickup service is also available in Lynnwood, Brier, Mountlake Terrace and parts of unincorporated Snohomish County. Check this map to see which homes are located within the pickup area.

Troop 312 will be taking dropoffs at QFC located at 7500 196th Street Southwest Suite B from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

Trees should be free from all ornaments and decorations. Flocked trees will not be accepted. Donations are appreciated but not required for pickup or drop-off.

Residents are asked to remove all decorations, tinsel, tree stands and nails as trees will be chipped. Troops will also be accepting used American flags for proper retirement.
