Christmas Tree Collection

Collection day

Christmas tree collection occurs on regular collection day during a pre-determined two-week timeframe in January. Refer to the Waste Collection Schedule for collection for dates.

Collection time

Christmas Trees should be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 p.m. the night before collection and no later than 7 a.m. on the day of collection. The time of collection could change at any time without notice.

Set out and placement reminders

Christmas trees larger than 2.13 metres (seven feet) cannot fit into the City’s collection vehicles and need to be cut in half to be collected.
Remove all tinsel, ornaments, plastic bags and stands.
Christmas trees buried in, on top of, or behind snow banks may not get collected - ensure the tree is fully accessible for collection.
For easy identification by the collection contractor, clearly separate each waste stream (i.e. leaf and yard, recycling) at the curb. Do not place collectible materials on the road, as it may pose a hazard to traffic.

Missed collection

If a Christmas Tree collection was missed, trees can be taken to York Region's Compost Facility or wait until the start of the City’s spring leaf and yard waste collection program.
