Some readers have just finished decorating their trees, while others have yet to buy one this year. But eventually, anyone who puts up a live pine for Christmas will eventually have to get rid of it. The Boy Scouts are offering to help.
Southborough’s Troop 1 will haul away your for trees for Southborough residents in early January.
This winter, pickups will take place the morning of Saturday, January 6, 2024.
For most of us, it’s a flat $15 fee for any tree. 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 the night before. 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.
Updated (1/2/24 8:58 am): The headline had a typo listing the wrong date. As noted in the story text and the cover image — the pickup date is 1/6/24.
