We somehow priced Christmas tree recycling out of the reach of most people when we said Wednesday that you can have your tree picked up for a minimum $50 donation.

That should have read a $5 minimum donation, of course.

You can bring your natural Christmas trees and a cash donation to the Comox or Courtenay fire stations this Saturday or Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. or the Cumberland fire station Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For a minimum $5 donation, firefighters will pick up your tree at your home. For tree pickup, call 250-339-2432 in Comox, 250-334-2513 in Courtenay or 250-336-2531 in Cumberland.

Comox fire chief Gord Schreiner says, 鈥淭his is a great project and a win-win for all involved.

鈥淭he Christmas trees get recycled as compost and the firefighters help out their favourite charity,鈥� he continues. 鈥淎nother great example of how our Valley firefighters work hard to make our communities better places to live.鈥�

We regret the confusion caused by one extra little zero, which meant much more than nothing in this case.
