Let's chip in

Remember: Don't throw your Christmas tree away after the holiday season. Recycle it by dropping it off at any of the depots listed at http://winnipeg.ca/waterandwaste/recycle/chip.stm (or call 311 for more info). Depots are typically open from late December to late January. The River Heights – Fort Garry Ward Depot is: Winnipeg Soccer Complex at 900 Waverley Street at Victor Lewis Drive, and features 24-hour access. You can drop off your tree and they will chip it into a wood mulch that can be used for landscaping. It’s great for landscaping around coniferous shrubs and trees and will help to prevent weed growth too! Just the tree needs to be as bare as it was when you got it, so remove all the decorations/tinsel and take your plastic bag back home so you can use it again next year.
