Tips & Advice

  • Strip off all ornaments, lights and tinsel at home before loading the tree, since trees need to arrive completely bare to be recycled.
  • The final drop-off schedule is still to be announced, so confirm which days are running before you haul your tree over to Pape Machinery.
  • Bring a donation for Camp Prime Time when you drop off your tree, since the camp's volunteers provide this recycling service.
  • If you can spare a few hours, call or email the Camp Prime Time office to volunteer, because many helpers are needed to run the drop-off.
