FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITY!

The City of Lethbridge Waste Utility & Environment Department has for the last 25+ years offered the residents of Lethbridge a ‘Christmas Tree Recycling Program’. The Christmas Trees are picked up at each participating household and chipped into wood chips that are used in City parks. We would like to open up this fundraising opportunity to any interested youth groups in Lethbridge. In return for the delivery of the program, the successful youth group will receive a $10,000 honorarium for the city-wide collection program.
