Residents of the City of Vernon are encouraged to recycle their fresh Christmas trees, free of charge, through the Christmas tree disposal program. Trees may be dropped off for recycling between December 25, 2023 and January 18, 2024.
If you choose to use this program, please note live Christmas trees can be dropped off at 3501 43rd Avenue (The Kin Race Track Park lands, west of Kal Tire Place. Please see map below).
If participating in the program, please remember:
Once collected, trees are chipped and used to create composting material called RDNO-Gro.
Christmas trees will not be picked up with your residential waste and will not be accepted in curbside organics carts or the community organics bin.
