In addition to the landfill, residents can dropoff Christmas trees in Kelowna at the Ben Lee Park parking lot off of Houghton Rd. and the Cook Road Boat Launch.
It’s free to chip your tree! Residents are invited to drop-off up to three Christmas trees per vehicle for no charge from Dec. 27, 2019 until Jan. 31, 2020 at the Glenmore Landfill.
Loads must contain only Christmas trees. If the trees are mixed in with other yard waste, then the entire load, including the Christmas tree, will be charged the fee for yard waste, which is a minimum of five dollars ($5). Residents are asked to remove all decorations, tinsel and bags used for transporting trees.
