As our attention turns to post-Christmas matters, mark your calendar now so you will remember to set out your once fresh Christmas tree at the curb by 8am on January 9th to be picked up by the Cub Scouts of Ferndale for recycling.
This is an annual community service project and offered for free. But you can support the effort of these young men by attaching a donation envelope to your tree or mailing in the envelope they leave.
If you cannot wait until then, SSC Food Plus! subscribers can place their tree inside the SSC provided Toter® at no extra charge. If the Toter is full, place the tree out next to it and you will be charged $6 per tree up to 8′ tall.
If you are not a SSC Food Plus! subscriber, contact SSC (360-734-3940) to schedule curbside pickup, also for $6 per tree up to 8′ tall.
Trees left curbside for SSC pickup should have all decorations removed. You can also recycle non-working holiday lights, extension cords and wire with scrap metal by placing next to bins. SSC asks that these be bundled and tied with string, rubber bands or twist ties.
