Ontario's Christmas tree recycling this season is a curbside pickup for trees from homes in the city. You do not need to haul your tree to a drop-off site, because the city collects trees at the curb. Check with the city about the collection timing and whether there is any cost before you set your tree out.
How Christmas Tree Pickup Works in Ontario
Ontario uses curbside collection, so the city picks up your tree from the edge of your property. Drop-off sites are not part of this program. Before pickup, get the tree ready by following the city's steps, and check with the city about who qualifies to use the service and what it costs.
How to Get Your Tree Ready
- Remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel, stands, and plastic coverings from the tree before placing it on the curb.
- Do not place the tree in a plastic bag.
