The City of Courtenay and its volunteer fire department have several options for residents looking to dispose of their Christmas trees. 

The Courtenay Volunteer Fire Department is hosting its annual Christmas tree chipping event on Saturday, Jan. 3, and Sunday, Jan. 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 

Trees can be dropped off at the Courtenay Fire Hall or at Home Depot by donation.

At-home pickup is also available for all areas served by the Courtenay fire department for a minimum $5 donation.

Residents can arrange a pickup by calling 250-334-2513 or emailing fireevents@courtenay.ca. 

All donations will go to support local charities. 

Residents can also cut their trees into pieces to fit in their organics cart with the lid fully closed. Trees must be free of decorations, stands and plastics.
