The City of Winnipeg said its ‘Let’s Chip In’ depots for recycling Christmas trees are now open.
It reminds residents that trees left curbside with garbage carts will not be picked up.
Last year, the city says more than 9,400 trees were recycled at depots.
The city says before bringing a tree for recycling, residents should be sure to remove plastic tree bags, tinsel, lights, decorations and tree stands.
While at the depots, people are invited to bring a container to help themselves to free wood chips, while supplies last.
