Christmas Tree Composting
CLOSED FOR THE SEASON
Thanks to everyone who used the drop-off sites this year, keeping quality compostable material out of the landfill and contributing to Saskatoon's waste diversion target.
Don't send your Christmas Tree to the landfill. Take it to a City drop-off site so it can be chipped and composted or used as mulch.

-
University Heights Recycling Depot – Ludlow Street (off Lowe Road)

Reminders
-
Live (natural) trees only. Artificial trees should be sold, donated, or disposed of at the Landfill.

Remove all decorations, ornaments, and plastic bags before dropping off your tree. Even small bits of tinsel or plastic can impact the quality of the wood chips.
