This year, the City’s Christmas tree recycling program will be drop-off only.
As a cost-saving measure, there will be no door-to-door collection service this year. Calgarians will have to drop their trees to one of the 16 tree drop off locations across the city.

“If everyone helps by meeting us half way, we’ll still be able to turn the trees into mulch while also saving taxpayers quite a bit of money,” says Leader of Program Management with Waste & Recycling Services, Sharon Howland.
