Grad class picks up trees this weekend SHERI REGNIER Trail Times
Giving your Christmas tree a second life is an eco-friendly way to support the 2016 grad class. A couple dozen students from the J.L Crowe graduating class have volunteered to circle Trail neighbourhoods Saturday and Sunday to pick up Christmas trees left curbside and bring them to the city to recycle into mulch. The Grade 12 class is paid $750 for the prickly work, but grad council president Michael Sheri Regnier photo Moon says the effort is Theory of a Deadman brought their Canadian rocker roots to Trail for an unplugged performance in the Charles Bailey Theatre Tuesday more about community night.

the class asks that all decorations, including tinsel and any plastic covers, be removed. Students will pass through only once, so the city requests trees be placed in the usual refuse collection spot and not on private property. The eight areas designated as drop off sites are: Waneta Village Park, the Glenmerry underpass, Highway Drive at the public works yard, Butler Park, the “Y” in Sunningdale, West Trail at the bocce pits, Miral Heights Park and Stoney Creek Road in Tadanac. This is the first year public works will tackle the recycle job with the city chipper instead of diverting Christmas trees into the regional district’s mulcher at the McKelvey Creek Landfill. It makes sense, says Public Works Manager Larry Abenante, because groups like Trail Community in Bloom are free to pick up all the mulch they need (at no cost) during planting season. The trees will be stored on an isolated piece of land at the Trail Regional Airport until winter work abates and crews have time to fire up the chipper. The work will be completed at the airport and mulch stored at that site. Contact the Times:
