Dump Your Christmas Tree With Southington Land Trust

SOUTHINGTON, CT — With Christmas further and further in the rearview mirror, 'tis the season for dumping that Christmas tree.

With that in mind, the Southington Land Trust is helping out folks wondering what to do with their old trees ... and dumping those trees with the trust could do a whole lot of good.

For a mere $15 donation, land trust volunteers on three Saturdays in January will pick up your tree and then recycle it into mulch.

Collections will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 6, Jan. 13, and Jan. 20.

All participants need to do is notify the trust of when their tree will be picked up ahead of time, with reservations able to be booked online and via old-fashioned mail if so desired.

"Your donation directly supports the Southington Land Trust, enabling us to conserve land and wildlife habitat in Southington," wrote the land trust.

Located on 76 N. Main St., Southington, the Southington Land Trust is a nonprofit, volunteer organization that oversees several rural properties in town and works to ensure they stay rural.

As a result, the public can enjoy miles of passive recreation opportunities and fresh air, which is what land trusts are all about.
