This year, local Boy Scout troops will collect and recycle Christmas trees in neighborhoods around Kent for a $5 donation.
Scouts will be on hand to unload the trees and accept your donation from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 7. To ensure pick-up, trees must be placed outside by 8 a.m. Saturday morning.
If you prefer to deliver your tree yourself, please bring it to Service Club Ballfields, located at 14608 S.E. 288th St. Trees with tinsel and/or flock cannot be accepted.
The City of Kent will also provide free curbside pickup of Christmas trees for residential households within the Kent City Limits the week of January 9-13.
You must be a current Allied Waste garbage customer to be eligible. An event flyer is mailed to residential garbage customers in mid-December.
