Cheyenne Boy Scouts Will Pick Up Christmas Trees on Saturday

Have you taken down your Christmas decorations yet?

If you have a Christmas tree to dispose of, the Cheyenne Boy Scouts annual tree pick up is Saturday, January 5.

Trees to be picked up should be placed on the front curb by 6:30 a.m. and must be free of tinsel, wire, nails, ornaments, plastic bags and other non-natural materials. In case of windy weather, trees should be secured to a mailbox or other fixture with twine that can be easily cut. The Cheyenne Compost Facility, 3714 Windmill Road, also takes your old Christmas trees. They're open Thursdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m.

You can also drop trees off at the Solid Waste Transfer Station, 220 North College Drive, open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and on Saturday from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m.

Other places in Cheyenne to dispose of your undecorated tree are Grant Farms, 2120 East Lincolnway, in their perennial yard and the River Bend Nursery, 8908 Yellowstone Road, in the fenced-in area outside their gate.
