Laramie Interfaith Christmas Tree Recycling Program
2023-12-12 - 2024-01-03
From Interfaith & ThisIsLaramie.com
In the spirit of community and sustainability, Laramie Interfaith is once again stepping up to assist residents in recycling their Christmas trees. As the holiday season comes to an end, the organization aims to address the post-New Year’s challenge of disposing of live trees, which, after 5 weeks, pose a significant fire hazard.
For a modest donation of $10, residents can effortlessly part ways with their festive conifers by leaving them on the curb. Laramie Interfaith’s dedicated partners will then collect these trees and ensure their eco-friendly transformation into mulch at the Laramie landfill. This initiative not only eliminates the hassle of strapping a tree to one’s car roof but also contributes to a cleaner environment.
What’s more, this annual campaign serves a dual purpose. The $10 donation goes beyond tree disposal—it directly supports the community’s essential needs. Contributions will be directed towards providing shelter, utilities, and food to those facing challenges, embodying the principle of neighbors helping neighbors help other neighbors.
Residents are encouraged to place their trees on the curb by January 3rd, with tree pickups commencing on the same day (weather permitting). It’s important to note that there are no specific scheduled pick-up days this year. The tree collection operation will span from January 3rd to January 5th, ensuring a timely and efficient process.
To participate and contribute to this eco-friendly and community-driven initiative, visit Laramie Interfaith’s Tree Pick-Up 2023 page. Join hands with your neighbors in fostering a safer, greener, and more supportive Laramie.

Laramie Main Street & Chipolte Fundraising Event
2023-12-09 16:00 - 20:00 (America/Denver)
Laramie, WY – [12/01/23] – Laramie Main Street is thrilled to announce an exciting partnership
with Chipotle for its first local fundraising event since the restaurant’s grand opening on
November 10th. On December 9th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Chipotle will generously donate
33% of all supporters’ sales to Laramie Main Street, helping to further the organization’s mission
in supporting the vibrant downtown community.

Trey Sherwood, spokesperson for Laramie Main Street, emphasizes the significance of
fundraising for the organization’s essential expenses, stating, “As a non-profit, we rely on public
donations and sponsorships to meet our mission-critical expenses. Funds raised allow us to
keep our services free to every business and property owner in the district. A donation is an
investment in a vibrant downtown.”

This event is a unique opportunity for community members to contribute to the continued growth and success of downtown Laramie. Sherwood adds, “Downtown is the one place, community-
wide, that everyone owns. Investing in the place you call home supports the creation of new
jobs and adds diversity to our business mix.”

To ensure that your purchases contribute to this fundraising initiative, there are four convenient
ways to participate:

1. Show the cashier a digital flyer prior to paying.
2. Show the cashier a paper flyer prior to paying.
3. Order online and pick up Chipotle for your fundraiser by using Promo Code MW6TFLY on the
Chipotle app or website. (*Pick-up only*)

Laramie Main Street encourages everyone to mark their calendars for December 9th, gather
friends and family, and head to Chipotle at 2615 Grand Ave. between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM to support this important cause.
