Old Christmas trees have a lot of value.
In addition to serving as fire kindling, they have been used to raise money in an eco-friendly way for Park City Lacrosse’s youth and high school programs, said Greg Bauer, who has managed the annual Park City Lacrosse Christmas tree pickup that will run this year on Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 2 and 3, and again Jan. 9 and 10.
“This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, because we try to not bother people throughout the year, so this is the big one,” Bauer said.
People can register and schedule a tree pickup by visiting parkcitylacrosse.org. The cost to pick up an average-sized tree is a $35 donation, and $50 for a bigger tree, and the costs are tax deductible, according to Bauer.
