Ridgefield Scout Troop 116 will Help Recycle Christmas Trees

Ridgefield Boy Scout Troop 116 will collect Christmas trees for recycling on Saturday, January 4th, 2014.  As the town no longer offers tree chipping on that Saturday, this is a community service provided by Troop 116 that helps everyone.  Families looking for assistance in having their tree removed and recycled may reserve a pick-up online and then take their tree down to the end of their driveway by 6:30 am that morning.
Last year, over 85 scouts, alumni, and their families worked a full day to collect trees, thus delivering 9 tons of mulch to the soil to help plants grow.
The troop is suggesting a $17 donation per tree.  The funds collected help support the troop’s activities such as High Adventure and community service projects.  The troop also donates a portion to Boy Scouts of America and to local Ridgefield conservation projects.
