Less Than One Week Remaining for Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful's Christmas Tree Recycling Program
RENO, NV - Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful's 15th annual Christmas Tree Recycling campaign for residents of the greater Reno-Sparks area continues through Monday, January 16 at three community drop-off sites: Washoe County's Bartley Ranch and Rancho San Rafael Regional Parks and Sparks' Shadow Mountain Sports Complex. Collection sites are open daily from 9 am to 4:30 pm. A minimum $3 donation is requested to support this program and other valuable community programs.
Recycled trees will be chipped into mulch, which is used year-round in park, river and open space projects to prevent weed growth, soil erosion and promote beautification.
Christmas Tree Recycling is coordinated by Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful in partnership with the City of Sparks Parks and Recreation, Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space, City of Reno Urban Forestry, Nevada Division of Forestry, Recycle America Alliance, Sierra Pacific Power Company, the Washoe County Health Department's Environmental Health Services, Tholl Fence, and numerous volunteer groups and individuals.
Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful is dedicated to creating a cleaner, more beautiful region through education and active community involvement. Volunteers are still needed for this project. For more information call Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful at 775-851-5185 or visit www.ktmb.org.
