COMOX, B.C- Residents of Comox looking to get rid of their old Christmas trees can head down to the firehall this weekend.

The fire service will be chipping trees on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All they’re asking for is a monetary donation, which will be going towards the You Are Not Alone (YANA) Fund Society.

YANA is a community organization that offers help to Comox Valley families travelling for medical services for their children.

For those who can’t get down to the hall in person, a tree pickup can be scheduled.
