MEDICINE HAT, AB — The city is once again giving Hatters a place to recycle their Christmas trees free of charge.

Natural Christmas trees can be recycled at three locations in the city until January 31. Locations for tree recycling are the recycling depot at 240 Kipling Street, the recycling bins at 172 Altawana Drive, next to Shamrock Bottle Depot, and the southwest corner of the Medicine Hat Mall parking lot.

Signs will be set up in designated areas for the trees, which will be ground up and turned into mulch to be used in the city.

Those dropping off trees must ensure they are free of all decorations, tree stands and plastic bags before recycling. Trees will be collected until January 31.

Hatters are also able to  drop off their Christmas trees at the City Landfill Composting Operation which is open year-round and located at the Medicine Hat Municipal Landfill, approximately three kilometers off Highway 41A, just past the city limits. Winter hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
