Now that Christmas has come to a close, you can get your natural Christmas tree chipped for free in the Central Okanagan.
Trees can be dropped off at one of the free Chip It locations set up by the City of Kelowna and the Regional District of Central Okanagan.
“The tree will then be chipped and composted into a nutrient-rich compost called GlenGrow available at various locations including the Glenmore Landfill,” states a news release from the RDCO.

All decorations and tinsel must be removed before dropping off the tree, and the RDCO requests that all plastic bags used for transport be removed as well.
