Christmas tree pickup
Christmas trees are more than just a pretty face! Did you know that once the twinkle lights and ornaments are taken off Christmas trees, they still have an important role to play? Trees collected will be shredded into woodchips and then added to the organic material collected in the green carts to make compost. The woodchips add air pockets in the compost that make organic matter break down quicker.
Treecycle!
From January 9 to 20, 2012, residents who receive collection services from Strathcona County can put out their Christmas tree for collection. Please remember to:
- cut your tree into four-foot sections
- remove all tinsel, decoration and lights
- take the tree out of the tree stand
- remove any plastic bags used to transport the tree
- have your tree out for collection by 7:30 a.m. on your collection day
