BRATTLEBORO Merry Mulch Christmas Tree Collection Service offered to Brattleboro Residents: The B.U.H.S. Music Department is again offering this service. This program, in its 31st year, is endorsed by the VT Dept. of Agriculture as well as the New Hampshire/Vermont Christmas Tree Association. Members of the band and chorus will transport undecorated trees from homes to a community garden in West Brattleboro where they will be chipped into mulch to be used by the gardeners. Also offered Saturdays: 1/15 and 1/22. Since Brattleboro does not offer curbside pick-up of trees, this service saves residents the hassle of transporting their own trees. $10 donation benefits future Music Dept. travel. Brattleboro Union High School, 131 Fairground Rd. Information: All pick-ups must be prearranged by calling at least two days prior to your desired date: 802-380-4550 or 802-254-6757.
