The Scouts of Troop 459 have performed Christmas tree curbside pickup and recycling as one of our primary fundraisers for many years.
Troop 459 works with local anglers to turn your donated Christmas trees into underwater “islands” for fish habitat in New Mexico's reservoirs (See Photos Below).
Your monetary donations are a critical part of our ability to provide a quality Scouting program for local youth by helping scouts earn their way to summer camp, high adventure camp and much more.
We thank you for your support!
Support Scouting in your neighborhood and have your tree recycled!
Please place your tree and donation curbside by 9:00 AM
Suggested donation is $15-$25 per tree

The Don'ts
For safety reasons and recycler request, we cannot accept trees with tinsel, flocked trees, artificial trees, or trees with any other metal attached. Also - please no trees that used a fire retardant. Thank you for understanding.
Please do NOT leave trees piled next to our signs, near dumpsters or other locations. Leave the tree curbside in front of your residence.
