Thanks to a partnership between Marysville Boy Scout troops and the Parks and Recreation department, recycling your Christmas tree is easy and economical.

When it's time to un-decorate and take down the Christmas tree, recycle your tree by leaving it at curbside for pickup. An optional cash donation helps Scouts raise funds for their activities, and your tree is recycled as mulch and chips that city crews will use at Strawberry Fields for Rover Off-Leash Park and surrounding trails.

Boy Scouts with Troops 80, 81, 82, 84 and 419 in Marysville will pick up your tree between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 9 only. Your tree should be at curbside by 8 a.m. Look for a donation envelope at your door prior to the tree pickup date. When your green tree is ready for collection (no flocking or tinsel allowed), leave it at the curb.

If you prefer, you can also bring your tree directly to Strawberry Fields athletic complex, 6302-152nd St. NE, serving Marysville residents in the north end. For more information about this program call the Marysville Parks office at (360) 363-8400.

If Scouts miss a tree on the designated date, residents may call the program director at (360) 659-6334 to arrange for pickup.
