NATURAL CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
NATURAL CHRISTMAS TREE COLLECTION
Curbside collection of natural Christmas trees begins on Monday, January 20. We only visit each neighbourhood once, so make sure your tree is out by 7 am on January 20 to avoid getting missed!
Remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel, garlands, nails, screws, and tree stands.
Cut trees larger than 2 metres (6.5 feet) into smaller pieces and bind together. This will help keep our staff safe.
Ensure your tree is placed by your regular garbage collection area. Your collection team cannot collect trees left against the sides of homes or left on the property anywhere other than your normal collection area.
Ensure trees are placed on your property closest to the curb, avoiding placing trees on the road or sidewalk.
Missed your neighbourhood’s tree collection day? Live in a condo or apartment? Drop off your tree at the Compost Yard at 4515 61 Ave (east of the Fire Hall).
ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREES
No longer need your artificial tree? Donate it to a local charity or second-hand store.
If your artificial tree is in poor condition:
Take it to the Regional Landfill at 60009 Range Road 43
Place it in your garbage cart (lid must fully close). Be careful not to stuff it tightly in your cart, as this may prevent it from siding out during collection.
