Christmas Tree Recycling - Girl Scouts
by GS Troop 52470 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

Dear Neighbors, If you are not aware, the city will trash your Christmas tree if it is curb side (even if you put it out on the day they say you can do so for curbside pickup), but you CAN drop your tree at a yard waste lot. However, our Girl Scout troop is once again going to raise funds by collecting Christmas trees in Highland Park, Morningside and East Liberty neighborhoods and delivering them to yard recycling for the city for you. We will be collecting on Saturday, January 6 between 9am and 4pm. We are looking for a donation of $5/tree. A sister troop, Troop 55286, will be picking up trees in Point Breeze and Friendship. Last year, we were able to keep over 75 trees out of the land fill. We are committed to returning to our community, and 10% of this year's cookie and tree recycling funds will also be donated. We are working with the girls to pick an organization. Please let us know via email if you are interested in having us pick up your tree this year. We can accept PayPal ahead of time, as well as cash at the time we pick up the tree. In previous years, some folks left the money in an envelope at a designated spot, so they did not need to be home when we got the trees. We can only get around 75 trees, so let us know asap so you can be sure to have a spot! One way or another, as other neighbors have mentioned, if you do not want us to pick up your tree, please make an effort to recycle it, rather than putting it into the trash. The Post Gazette lists the places that you can take care of recycling your tree on your own: *http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2017/12/26/Pittsburgh-holiday-Christmas-tree-recycling-throwing-away-refuse-pick-up/stories/201712220131 <http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2017/12/26/Pittsburgh-holiday-Christ…>* Additionally, Girl Scouts in the neighborhood will be taking cookie orders in the coming weeks. If you don't already have a source for Girl Scout cookies, we'll be happy to take your order when we get your tree and deliver the cookies in February, when they come in. Wishing you a wonderful New Year! Heather Conrad Troop 52489 GSTroop52470(a)gmail.com 412.606.9263 <(412)%20606-9263> -- Heather Conrad Troop 52470 GSTroop52470(a)gmail.com 412.606.9263

Re: Door to Door solicitation for East Hills Hyenas?

I was approached while sitting in my car this evening on farragut street. He was carrying a shoe box. Spoke really fast but I did hear something about someone's birthday and they were collecting money he said there were other kids out collecting. I told him I had nothing on me Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE device ------ Original message------From: CarolineDate: Sun, Dec 31, 2017 7:35 PMTo: neighborhood(a)highlandparkpa.com;Cc: Subject:Door to Door solicitation for East Hills Hyenas? Someone came to our door this evening (New years Eve) solicitation money for his brother that had been killed, associated with the East Hills Athletic Association. We did not give anything but said that we would go to the website to give, but there was nothing on the East Hills Athletic Association Site. Does anyone know about this? Is it a scam? It was odd to come around New Years Eve at dinner time. Caroline
