AUBURN — The Auburn-based Boy Scout Troop 121 will again pick up Christmas trees in the cities of Lewiston and Auburn. While the cities provide locations for free tree disposal, they no longer collect the trees at curbside.

For a minimum donation of $5, the scouts will pick-up Christmas trees Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 7 and 8, and deliver them to the town for disposal. Trees should not be placed curbside until the morning of Jan. 7.

Money raised by this program will go directly to troop Scouting activities. Troop 121 was created to help give youth with special physical, mental and emotional challenges the opportunity for success in a safe Scouting environment that builds character, encourages citizenship, teaches life skills and develops personal fitness.

To make a pick-up request, donations may be sent by Jan. 7 to Troop 121, United Methodist Church, 439 Park Ave., Auburn, ME 04210. The troop, in turn, will send a tag to place on the tree when it’s placed curbside. Donation cards and tags can also be picked up at these Christmas Tree Lots:

Auburn: Wallingford Fruit House, Whiting Farm, Naum’s Tree Farm and Blackies’ Farm Stand.

Lewiston: Paris Farmers Union, Main Street Christmas Tree and Gendron’s Seafood.
