The Boy Scout troops of Sammamish, WA have performed the Christmas tree curbside pickup and recycling drive as an annual service project and primary fundraiser since Christmas 1985. Your donations are a critical part of our ability to provide a quality Scouting program for Sammamish youth. We thank you for your support.

The next tree recycling pickup is

Leaving Your Tree for Curbside Pickup - The Do's

Please place your donation in the envelope that was attached to your flyer.  The suggested donation is $15-$30 per tree. All your donations go directly to fund the local Scouting programs here in Sammamish. This is our main fundraiser for the year and we appreciate your support! Please make checks payable to "Boy Scouts of America".

Seal the envelope and place it on the bottom of the tree with a rubber band.  Also please consider putting the envelope inside a small ziploc bag in bad weather.

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 before 9 AM before pickup begins.

If you would prefer to drop off your tree, you may leave your tree and donation at one of our 2 chipper locations shown on the Drop Off Chipper page.

The Don'ts

For safety reasons, 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.  Thank you for your 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.

This effort is an all volunteer effort by Boy Scouts and their adult leaders.  Should you have any questions or encounter any issues, you can reach us by email or phone using the Contact Us page on this website.

If we missed your tree Saturday, please let us know via the Contact Us page. There is limited pickup available on the Sunday morning after pickup day.

If your flyer has gone missing, the flyer is available online on the Flyer page.

If a flyer 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 and send us your street address or nearest cross streets. We can confirm by email.

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 see the Payment by Mail page for a mailing address.

Thank you to the many families and individuals
who support our effort each year!
