Just Junk is giving back to the community by offering to pick up discarded Christmas trees within Sault Ste. Marie city limits - at no charge - during the first weekend of January.
The trees will then be delivered to the Clean North tree depot at the Cambrian Mall, where they will be turned to mulch in an effort to divert them from the landfill.
“We just want to help out, and it falls into our wheelhouse of what we do,” says local Just Junk owner Jason Biggar. “The tree depot in Cambrian Mall has always been really popular in Sault Ste. Marie.”
Biggar hopes the free Christmas tree pickup service is well received by the community in its first year.
“Usually In April I’m driving around and charging people to pick it up,” he laughed.
Once the online form has been submitted, Just Junk will contact people directly in order to book a time and date.
The junk removal company is asking people to have their Christmas trees outside in front of their homes prior to the scheduled pickup time.
Just Junk will be hitting the streets to collect the trees Jan. 4-5.
