Gananoque offering curbside Christmas tree collection

Residents of Gananoque can take advantage of curbside Christmas tree collection now through Jan. 17 as part of the town’s post-holiday cleanup efforts.

Town staff will collect real Christmas trees placed at the curb, provided they are free of lights, decorations, and tinsel.

For those unable to use the curbside service, an additional drop-off option is available at the public works yard on Jan. 25, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Residents are reminded not to leave trees at the Lou Jefferies, Gananoque and TLTI Recreation Centre, and are encouraged to utilize the designated collection and drop-off locations.

This initiative offers a convenient and environmentally-friendly way to dispose of Christmas trees, helping the community start the new year with a cleaner and greener outlook.

Town staffers say there is nothing planned for a public Christmas tree bonfire this year, which is a bit of a tradition in the community, usually occurring outside the arena.
