national problem. 3
• 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. f
