Milford Scouts Will Collect Christmas Trees In 2023

Editor's note: On Tuesday, Milford Patch erroneously posted the story about the tree pickup from 2021. We are running the correct version below to clarify when trees will be picked up this year.

MILFORD, MA — A local scouting fundraiser may be able to help you with a post-holiday headache.

Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts in Milford will collect Christmas trees after the holiday this year for a donation. On Jan. 7, Milford residents can place trees at the curb, and local scouts will collect and recycle them.

If you want to participate in the collection, place trees at the curb by 8 a.m. on Jan. 7. Attach a $10 donation to your tree, either cash or check (make checks out to "The Boy Scouts of America"). All donations will go directly to the scouting unit that collects your tree.

The service is only open to Milford residents.

If you miss the scouts collection, the Milford Transfer Station will also accept trees. The station is closed on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
