Cash for Trash - Wisconsin Christmas Tree Farmers Go Green for the Troops

What is Cash for Trash?

CASH FOR TRASH is a new program organized by Wisconsin Christmas Tree Producers Association to encourage consumers to go green and buy a FARM GROWN REAL CHRISTMAS TREE, and in the process will help the TREES FOR TROOPS program ( www.treesfortroops.org )

Here is how it works:

1) Customers bring an artificial Christmas tree to a participating farm or retail lot and then purchase a REAL tree.

2) The tree farmer will dispose of the tree.

3) The tree farmer will also donate $5.00 to the Christmas Spirit Foundation's TREES FOR TROOPS program for each tree exchange/purchase.

Why are we doing this?

This is an effort by the Wisconsin Christmas tree growers and retailers to help the Troops by donating money to TREES FOR TROOPS and to improve our environment by disposing of the trash (artificial tree) in the landfill and replacing it with an eco-friendly farm grown real Christmas tree.
