Recycling Your Christmas Tree

Jan 3, 2017 | 7:00 AM

When you recycle your real Christmas tree, you are being eco-conscious and the remains have a variety of uses, including mulch.

The City of North Battleford will be recycling trees into chips for mulch. The mulch is used in tree and shrub beds, improving growth by retaining moisture and suppressing weed growth.

Due to a decrease in the number of residents using real Christmas trees, the City of North Battleford no longer conducts back alley Christmas tree pickup. Instead, there are two FREE drop off locations.

City of North Battleford Parks and Recreation Shop at 11202-8th Avenue.
During regular business hours 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday

The Waste Management Facility
During regular business hours 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday

This service will run until January 31, 2017.

It is extremely important for all lights, string, wire, ornaments, tinsel, fake snow and bags to be removed before recycling your tree.

Materials left on trees can damage City equipment and become mixed in the mulch, which degrades its usefulness.
