Tradition continues in village of Perth-Andover
The beautiful balsam fir that served as a centrepiece for a family Christmas celebration needn’t be a community eyesore after the holidays.
Rotarians in Perth-Andover will continue their post-holiday tradition of helping to dispose of natural Christmas trees in the community on Saturday, Jan. 4.
Club members will help residents dispose of Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly way, transporting collected trees to the Southern Victoria public works compound and later chipping them into mulch to be used by the community.
Rotarian Rhonda Kennedy said the club has gathered up discarded Christmas trees in the village for over 25 years.
“The tree pickup is a great way for the club to help our friends and neighbours put their former Christmas trees to good use,” Kennedy said.
Residents are asked to have their trees at the curbside by 9 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 4, for pickup.
