Real Christmas trees can also be taken to the compost facility located within the city’s Waste Management Facility.

Artificial Christmas trees are not accepted through the real tree recycling program or the Circular Materials blue cart service.

The city says artificial trees that can no longer be reused or donated should be placed in grey waste collection carts or taken to the landfill at the Waste Management Facility.
