Hollister's Boy Scout Troop 436 and San Juan Bautista's Troop 428 will be providing curbside pick-up service for Christmas trees on Jan. 7 and 8. The troops are asking for an $8 donation. All trees will be recycled.

On the pick-up dates, leave your tree visible at the curb by 9 a.m., stripped of all decorations and stands. Trees do not need to be cut in sections. Flocked trees will be accepted. Donations can be left under the doormat.

Both cities are served twice on each pick-up date between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. No need to call to provide an address unless you have special instructions. Please call for special pick-ups outside the city limits.

On the pick-up dates, there will also be drop sites available at Veteran's Memorial Park, and at the San Juan Bautista Scout House.
