Christmas is over and for those of you with real Christmas trees here is a list of a few of the places you can recycle your trees in Metro Vancouver. For those of you with fake trees, you’ll probably leave it up for another month or so as we all know putting the tree back in the box isn’t as fun as putting the tree up.
