WINNIPEG – Now that the holidays are wrapping up, the city wants Winnipeggers to start thinking about what to do with their Christmas trees.
Let’s Chip In depots open Friday and will run until Jan. 20. There are 11 dropoff locations throughout the city to recycle live Christmas trees. The city asks that all tinsel, decorations, plastic bags and tree stands be removed from trees being dropped off.
Free wood chips will be available at the depots; residents are asked to bring their own containers.
Trees left beside recycling or garbage carts will not be picked up by crews.
