Press release from the Scout troops listed below:

Boy Scout Troop 15 and Cub Scout Pack 95 will again be picking up Christmas trees in the Arcata, Eureka, and McKinleyville areas and hauling them to green waste for the community.  We will be doing this on Saturday December 30 Sunday, December 29 and again on Saturday January 4 between 10am and 4pm. [NOTE: This post has been edited to reflect the correct dates.]

Anyone who would like to schedule a pickup should text or call 707-273-1997 or email arcatacubscouts@gmail.com with their name, address, phone number and preferred pickup date (12/30 or 1/6).

This is a community service project for the Scouts and there is no fixed cost to pick up a tree - donations are accepted and appreciated but not required.  All donations will help fund camping and other outings and summer camp for the Scouts.
