Mountlake Terrace BSA Troop 61 is offering Christmas tree recycling Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 4-5, at two locations.
Tree recycling drop-offs are available from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at:
Safeway, 4301 212th St. S.W., Mountlake Terrace
Seattle Fleet Reserve Association Branch 018, 23003 56th Ave. W., Mountlake Terrace
This year, the program will not be offering a neighborhood pick-up service. However, Scoutmaster Gary LaPointe said those who absolutely need to have a tree picked up can contact him at 206-491-7969 and he will make arrangements.
All decorations, tinsel, tree stands and nails must be removed from the tree in order to be recycled. Flocked trees are not accepted.
Donations are appreciated via cash, credit card or check payable to: BSA Troop 61. The recycling event will help the troops raise funds for summer scout camp to learn leadership and outdoor skills.
BSA Troop 61 serves Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and surrounding communities. The troop meets on Mondays from 7:15-8:30 p.m. at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church 3215 Larch Way, Lynnwood.
To learn more, contact Scoutmaster Gary LaPointe at 206-491-7969.
Where can I recycle my Christmas tree? I don’t see any information for 2022. Can you please provide any drop off locations where I can recycle my Christmas tree.
We have left messages for the local scout troop to see if they are providing this service this year, but have not yet heard back. Meanwhile, there is an Edmonds scout troop that is doing tree recycling starting this weekend, just off 212th Street SW so not too far away:https://myedmondsnews.com/2021/12/edmonds-scout-troop-to-collect-christmas-trees-starting-new-years-weekend/
Most troops are providing their tree collections this coming weekend, Jan 8 & 9th. Troop 61 is collecting trees in the Mountlake area at the Mountlake Safeway on the corner of 44th Ave. W and 212th St. SW.
