2009 is here and, with it, the annual Christmas Tree Pickup. Every year the Scouts canvass the city, picking up the trees. The Scouts have a lot of fun - one of the major high points is jumping on them to mash them down into the dumpster so that they can be mulched later. Other Scouts like collecting the many donations. Some like to toss the trees. Service can be fun!
This would not be possible without the support of many volunteers. I have organized this for years and am almost at the point where I could do it in my sleep. The Scout leaders are the backbone of the process but the news paper makes sure everyone knows about it, the garbage service donates the dumpsters, and the entire community is ready and waiting for us to pick up their trees.
So kudos to all the volunteers out there: No one can ever know or gauge all that volunteers do.

Hopefully some scouts don't get munched into the dumpster and mulched later. Always remember to count your scouts.
We neither munched nor mulched Scouts. We had as many as when we started but were down 8 dozen donuts.
