Holiday Challenge #4: Natural Decorations

Did you deck the halls with cedar and holly this year? Or did you have a live Christmas tree? Here’s what to do with those natural Christmas decorations once your fa-la-la-ing is over for another year.

Remove any wire, ribbons, ornaments, or similar from your natural wreaths, garlands, and centrepieces. Now, these items are ready for your green compost cart or backyard compost bin. If there’s glue or glitter, please throw these decorations in the garbage instead.

Dried-out trees are a fire hazard that should not be left in the home, the garage, or outside the home. If you chose a live Christmas tree this year, make sure to remove lights and every ornament and strand of tinsel, then head to the Christmas Tree Chipping for Charity event, in partnership with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine:

Date: January 8, 2022
Time: 11 am to 3 pm
Location: 4617 Greig Ave (old Co-Op parking lot beside the George Little House)
Bring: Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item. Donations will go to local food banks.

This will be a contact-free, drop-and-go event for safety. Check out our Events Calendar for more information.

Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste this holiday season.
