Starting on Monday, January 6th, the City of London will begin collecting Christmas trees. Please have your trees at the curb by 7am on Monday so that they can be collected during the week to be chipped and composted. Crews will be by each neighbourhood once.

Be sure to:
• Remove plastic bags.
• Put only the tree (no decorations, skirts, lights etc.)
• Place trees on level ground within one meter of the curb.
• Make sure trees are not frozen to the ground or in snow banks.

You can map recycle your trees by dropping it off at an EnviroDepot (http://www.london.ca/residents/Garbage-Recycling/Recycling/Pages/Depots.aspx) or leaving it in your backyard for birds.

For other holiday recycling, the City of London provides the filing tips
“1. Put gift wrap, ribbons, bows, and bags in the trash can. These items are not recyclable.
2. Break down, flatten and bundle your cardboard boxes or stack them flattened in your recycling bin.
3. Things like take-out coffee cups, milk cartons, and juice boxes belong with other recyclable containers, and not paper. Here's a tip to help you sort it right: If you can drink out of it, it's a container.
4. Avoid “Wishcycling.” Just because you “wish” you could recycle something, doesn’t mean you can. When in doubt, leave it out.
5. Download the Recycle Coach app (https://recyclecoach.com/) to help answer what goes where in our recycling program. Recycle Coach also includes personalized collection calendars, information on London’s recycling program, and collection reminders all accessible from your phone or device. " ... See more
