The city expects to collect about 35 thousand Christmas trees through January which will be eventually turned into mulch.
You can bring a tree to one of the temporary drop off locations:
Bowness Fire Station #15…. 6328 35 Avenue N.W.
Prairie Winds Park … South Parking Lot, 54th Ave. & Castleridge Blvd. N.E
Bottomlands Park…St. George’s Drive and 7 Avenue N.E.
Marda Loop Communities Association … 3130 16 Street S.W.
Parks Compound… 10312 Sacramento Drive S.W.
Spyhill Landfill… 69 Street and 112 Avenue N.W.
East Calgary Landfill… – 17 Avenue and 68 Street S.E.
Shepard Landfill….114 Avenue and 68 Street S.E.
Or the city will pick up your Christmas tree starting Friday, January 8, if you have residential black cart garbage collection.
Put the tree on the ground near your collection spot by 7:00 a.m.
Don’t forget to take everything off the tree including lights, ornaments, tinsel, string, and garland.
Also, don’t wrap, bag or tie the tree.
Some items that can’t be recycled through the blue cart program are foil or metallic-coated wrapping paper, broken ornaments, tinsel, and artificial Christmas trees.
