Collection has seen delays in some areas due to recent snowfall and winter maintenance operations.
Trees have already been collected in the north end, the east city and the central areas. Collections in the west end and south end remain a work in progress.
Snow removal activities and compacted snowbanks can make it difficult for crews to locate and retrieve trees according to the City. Residents are reminded to ensure trees placed for collection are not buried, remain visible and are accessible at the curb.
To prepare your tree for composting:
Remove all decorations, lights, tinsel and plastic bags
Place the tree at the curb in a clearly visible and accessible location
Keep trees out of snowbanks and away from sidewalks and roadways
