Benicia Boy Scouts To Recycle Christmas Trees In 2020 Fundraiser

BENICIA, CA —Benicia residents who need to recycle their Christmas trees this weekend and beyond can look to the local Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venture Crew.

As part of an annual fundraiser led by the Benicia Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, anyone can drop a tree off and Benicia residents can register to have their tree picked up to be recycled. Trees are chipped and used for ground cover on city properties.

Anyone can bring a tree to the Benicia Community Park behind Mathew Turner School or First Baptist Church on Southampton Road. Drop off times are Sunday, Dec. 27; Jan. 2 and 3; and Jan. 9 and 10., from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

To register for a tree pick up, residents can sign up at BeniciaScouts.org. The recycle hotline is 707-551-4520. Residents are asked to have their tree outside by 9 a.m.

Flocked trees are accepted, and a recommended donation of $11 is encouraged for drop offs and pick ups. Donations can be attached to the tree or mailed to Christmas Tree Recycling P.O. Box 485, Benicia CA 94510.
