Peterborough, ON - The City of Peterborough will complete curbside collection of natural Christmas trees throughout the month of January 2025, with residents asked to put out trees for curbside collection by January 6, 2025.

Collection takes place weather permitting and does not follow traditional collection schedules. Residents do not need to call to request collection.

Trees will be composted, therefore all decorations and tinsel must be removed and trees must not be in plastic bags.

Residents are asked to place trees at the curb in a clearly visible location within safe reach for collection staff. Please avoid snowbanks and ensure that trees do not get buried in snowbanks.
