Curbside collection

Real Christmas trees are collected from the curb on select days in January.

  • Check your collection calendar for your tree pickup day.
  • Remove all decorations before setting out your tree for collection.
  • Put real wreaths at the curb for collection on the same day as your Christmas tree.

A Christmas tree will not be collected if:

  • It is taller than 3 m (10 ft.)
  • It is in a plastic bag.
  • It is placed on or in a snowbank.
  • It is still decorated with tinsel or ornaments (or both).

Apartment/condominium building collection

  • If you live in an apartment or condo, put your Christmas tree at the curb by the driveway entrance of your property. Be sure your tree doesn't obstruct the road or sidewalk.

Peel Community Recycling Centre (CRC)

  • If you miss your Christmas tree pickup day, you can drop off your tree for free at a Peel Community Recycling Centre (CRC) throughout January. Disposal fees will apply from February onwards.
  • Trees taller than 3 m. (10 ft.) must be cut in half to be accepted.
  • Be sure to remove all tinsel, ornaments, plastic bags, nails, wires and tree stands from your tree before bringing it to a CRC.
