Holiday Tree Recycling

When it is time to put the decorations away, remember to dispose of your holiday tree properly.

Please place trees behind the fence and do not drop off trees on the sidewalk or outside the fenced-in area. Live trees only, please! Remove all plastic bags, tree stands, decorations, and lights. The Town of Frederick Public Works team will recycle all trees through a wood chipper onsite. 

Community Grant Program

The Town can provide both direct financial support from its Oil Royalty Trust Fund and some kinds of in-kind support (i.e., police, Public Works assistance, etc.) to which a monetary value is assigned. The Town Board of Trustees award grants based on the applicant meeting the basic requirements of the application and the merits of the project, as described in the form. The Town wishes to provide assistance for programs, events or projects that contribute to the positive image of the Town of Frederick and provide opportunities for informal education, community building and family entertainment.

The Town strongly encourages applicants to speak with the Town Clerk, who processes the applications for the Board, before completing and submitting an application. The Town Clerk can answer questions and help ensure the application is appropriate for Board review and complete.

Level 1 classes will include valuable classroom-style instruction on awareness and preventative measures before diving into basic physical self-defense techniques.

Level 2 classes will review situational awareness and dive deeper into hands-on physical self-defense. Participants can do as much as they are comfortable with, so you may attend regardless of your physical ability.
