Tell One Friend: Unwanted Holiday Decorations and Trees

As part of reducing holiday waste, it is important to take responsible action for unwanted Christmas trees and decorations.

  • Holiday lights that no longer work and anything with a cord or battery can be dropped off at an Eco Station.
  • Artificial trees and decorations, in good condition can be donated to the Reuse Centre. If items are not in good condition, drop them off at an Eco Station free of charge.
  • Set out your natural Christmas tree for collection (with ornaments, hardware and tree stands removed) beginning on January 9. Trees will be collected by the end of January. 
  • Apartment and condo residents can take their natural trees to a community recycling depot or Eco Station, free of charge.
