If you were lucky enough to get a Christmas Tree this Christmas, you will see that after the holidays, you have to get rid of the Christmas tree and remove all the decorations from the house. If you live in Calgary, there are two options for getting rid of them:
You can cut it up and put it in the green recycling (compost) can making sure the lid closes all the way, that it does not have lights or any Christmas ornaments or balls.
Or you can take it to the City of Calgary Assigned Locations to leave the Christmas tree between December 26, 2021 and January 31, 2022. This is a provisional list of places where you can get rid of the tree, please check the link at the top.
Christmas trees must be without lights or decorations or artificial legs and not be wrapped or bagged.
