Register to get curbside Christmas tree pickup

With the holidays fast approaching, Oshawa has advised  residents that registration is now open for curbside Christmas tree collection.

Residents are asked to register their address by Thursday, January 9, 2020 in order to receive curbside collection of their Christmas tree. Residents can register by visiting www.oshawa.ca/treecollection or by calling Service Oshawa at 905-436-3311.

Once registered, residents will receive curbside collection of Christmas trees during the week of January 13-17. Tree collection may not coincide with waste collection day. All Christmas trees will be collected no later than Friday, January 17, said a city statement.

Tree collection reminders and requirements:

  • Place your tree at the curb no later than Monday, January 13 at 7:00 am., regardless of your waste collection day.
  • Trees longer than 1.8 m (6 feet) must be cut in half so that they fit in the truck.
  • Please ensure trees do not become stuck or frozen in snow banks.
  • Because the trees are composted, it is important to remove tinsel, decorations, lights, stands and plastic tree bags.

Registering your address for Christmas tree collection helps the city plan more efficient collection routes by eliminating the need to drive every street resulting in cost savings and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
