Peterborough, ON - The City of Peterborough continues curbside collection of natural Christmas trees throughout the month of January. The first City-wide round of collection was completed the week of January 13, and a second round begins the week of January 20, 2025. 

Collection takes place weather permitting and does not follow regular curbside 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.
