PROCLAMATION
"27TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLE DAY"
• Solid waste disposal and a dwindling capacity in our landfills is a critical
national problem.
• Garden waste contributes a significant volume in our landfills.
• Troop 112 of the Boy Scouts of America, with assistance from the Ashland
Parks Department, pick up and chipped Christmas trees in the City of Ashland.
• The chipped material was used on park trails and as mulch for plants and did
not enter the "waste stream."
• The Ashland Lions Club supports this effort by donating volunteer power and
equipment to transport the pick-up crews.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council and Mayor, on behalf of the citizens of
Ashland, hereby proclaim Saturday, January 5, 2013 as:
"CHRISTMAS TREE-CYCLE
DAYINASHLAND"
and hereby urge all citizens to set out their tree near the curb on Friday, January
4`h, to be picked up on Saturday, January 5`h, and to consider making a donation to
assist the Troop in their community service activities. 00
Dated this 181h day of December, 2012.

Jo Stromb rg, Mayor
Barbara Christensen, City Recorder
