City of Calgary changes Christmas tree recycling program

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.
