Troop 5 of Brookfield has begun accepting reservations for its 10th Annual Christmas Tree Pick Up service.
Boy Scouts from Troop 5 will pick up Christmas Trees the first two Saturdays in January and recycle them by grinding them into mulch to be used for other projects. Brookfield residents can schedule a tree pick up by visiting the troop’s website http://www.brookfieldtroop5.org/christmas-tree-pickup.html.
There is a suggested donation amount of $10 per tree. Donations in any amount are appreciated but not required.
Trees should be free of ornaments and left in the driveway for pick up. When making a reservation online, please select a pick up date of either Saturday, January 4, 2020, or Saturday, January 11, 2020.
Troop 5 is comprised of local boys age 11-17. Service to the community is a central part of the Scouting program and Troop 5 Scouts participate in service projects throughout the year including Fall clean up, trail clean up, Memorial Day flag placement at local cemeteries and more. Donations collected from Christmas tree pickups assist the troop in purchasing needed supplies to run the program as well as assist Scouts in paying for valuable summer camp experiences. Last year trees were collected and recycled. The troop hopes to exceed that number this year.
