When you take down your natural Christmas tree after the holidays, dispose of it in an eco-friendly way and have it chipped.
The RDCO Waste Reduction Office recommends giving your tree another life by dropping it off at one of the many free and convenient Chip It locations. The tree will then be chipped and composted into a nutrient-rich compost called GlenGrow available at various locations, including the Glenmore Landfill.
Make sure to remove all decorations and tinsel before recycling your tree, plus any plastic bags or other materials used for transporting – all of these interfere with the composting process.
