Fernie Fire Fundraiser: Christmas Tree Recycling
The holidays are over, and your home is sparkling clean – except for that majestic Christmas tree now taking up valuable living space. Don't let it end up in the landfill! This year, Fernie Fire Rescue is offering a fantastic way to dispose of your Christmas tree while supporting a great cause: our annual Christmas Tree Recycling fundraiser.
Recycle Your Tree, Support Our Firefighters
This isn't just about getting rid of your tree; it's about giving back to the community and supporting the brave men and women of the Fernie Fire Rescue. All proceeds from our Christmas Tree Recycling program go directly towards enhancing our equipment, training, and community outreach programs. Your contribution makes a real difference in ensuring the safety and well-being of Fernie residents.
How to Participate: A Simple Process
Participating in our fundraiser is easy! Simply follow these steps:
1. Remove Decorations:
Before dropping off your tree, ensure all ornaments, tinsel, lights, and tree stands are completely removed. These items can damage our equipment and pose a safety hazard.
2. Drop-Off Locations & Dates:
We'll have designated drop-off locations throughout Fernie. Check our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram - links removed as per instructions) or the town website (link removed as per instructions) for the most up-to-date list of locations and dates. Typically, the program runs for [Insert Number] days after the holiday season.
3. Make a Donation:
Once you drop off your tree, you can make a donation to Fernie Fire Rescue. Even a small contribution helps! We will have donation boxes at each drop-off location and accept cash or checks. [Optionally mention other payment methods if applicable].
Why Recycle Your Christmas Tree?
Recycling your Christmas tree offers numerous environmental benefits:
- Reduces Landfill Waste: Keeping trees out of landfills helps conserve space and minimizes environmental impact.
- Sustainable Practices: Our program promotes sustainable waste management and resource conservation.
- Repurposing: Many recycled trees are chipped and used for mulch, enriching our community's green spaces.
Supporting Fernie Fire Rescue: More Than Just a Fundraiser
This Christmas tree recycling program is more than just a fundraiser; it's an opportunity to show your appreciation for the dedication and hard work of our local firefighters. They are always there for us, and this is a small way we can show our support.
