The City of Calgary will pick up real Christmas trees from your households that receive residential garbage collection.
“You can place real Christmas trees on the ground near your black cart collection spot by 7 a.m. on Friday January 8, 2016 and leave it out.” Before recycling your tree, you need to remove all decorations, tinsel, string, plastic and tree stands, and you should not bag or wrap tree (including recycling tree bags).
