How Christmas Tree Pickup Works in Vancouver
The city collects Christmas trees at the curb through its organics program. Organics subscribers use this service, and the tree goes in with the organics cart. If your cart is full, the city allows extra tree sections to be placed beside the cart, but this costs a fee, so check with the city for the amount before you set it out.
How to Get Your Tree Ready
