Indian Mills Boy Scout Troop 47 of Shamong has marked Monday, Jan. 16, Martin Luther King National Day of Service to collect Christmas trees for removal and recycling. Tree recycling is an easy way to return a renewable and natural resource back to the environment.
In addition to providing a service to Shamong Township, Troop 47 will use funds raised to provide a high-quality Scouting program including such things as camping equipment, travel opportunities as well as local charitable event support.
Shamong residents should leave the Christmas tree curbside by 8 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 16. Please be sure that there is no tinsel, nails or flocking on the trees….as these trees cannot be recycled and will not be collected.
This service is free to Shamong residents, but a donation of $10 per tree would be greatly appreciated. Checks should be made payable to Troop 47 and are tax deductible. Please place your donation into a Ziploc baggie, rubber banded to the base of the tree (no cash please).
This program is sponsored by Boy Scouts of America Indian Mills Troop 47. All trees will be used as an amendment to composite at the Burlington County Composite Facility.
For further questions please contact Assistant Scoutmaster, Jeff Siedlecki at (609) 268–9411.
