After the holidays, we often see it. Driving along a lesser-traveled route — even within city limits — some lazy jerk just had to dump their dried-out Christmas tree in a ditch. With all the options to dispose of that Douglas fir or Blue spruce (the city offers curbside pickup during certain dates) there’s no excuse for this shameful behavior. Especially when you can call a friendly local Boy Scout to pick up said tree for a small donation toward Troop 400’s leadership and learning programs. Or drop it off yourself during the scouts’ annual recycle drive.
Dec. 27-28 and Jan. 3-4, drop off from 9 am-3 pm • $5/drop-off; $10/ pickup • University and Central Valley High Schools • Spokane Valley • troop400.net/trees
