Tree Placement
Please place the tree curbside in front of your residence. If that is not possible, place the tree at the nearest cross street corner. Trees need to be out by 8:00 AM Saturday thank you!
If you would prefer to drop off your tree, you may leave your tree and donation at our chipper location shown on the Bring Us Your Tree page.
The Don'ts
For safety reasons and recycler request, we cannot accept trees with tinsel, flocked trees, trees with nails, artificial trees, wreaths with metal shape wires, or trees with any other metal attached. Also - please no trees that used a fire retardant. Thank you for understanding.
Please do NOT leave trees piled next to our signs, near dumpsters or other locations. Leave the tree curbside in front of your residence.
Get Mulch!
If you are interested in a mulch delivery in increments of 10 cubic yards (truck load), please send us a note using the Get Mulch form. Mulch may be available for delivery from Devoted Tree Solutions on the day of the drive. You will be contacted to make arrangements if available. This is open to residents of Sammamish and Issaquah Highlands. We cannot guarantee there will be enough mulch for all requests.
Missed Tree or other questions?
We must know about missed trees BY SATURDAY 2:00PM PLEASE! Thank you for your understanding. There is very limited pickup on Sunday. Requests any later than Sunday morning cannot be retrieved. Our apologies as the Scouts go back to school Monday and cannot collect trees after dark.
To report a missed tree, or any other questions, please Contact Us.
If a door hanger did not make it to your door, but you are wondering if we pickup in your neighborhood, please check the Coverage Area Map. If you are still unsure, use the Contact Us page.
No Tree to Recycle, but still want to support Scouting in Sammamish?
If you do not have a tree to recycle on our recycling day, or use an artificial tree, you can still support Scouting right here in Sammamish and the Issaquah Highlands through a direct donation. Please use our Donate with PayPal page. Thank you!
