Good Morning and Happy 2010. Now that the holidays are wrapping up, it’s time to find a green, easy and community-minded way to dispose of your Christmas Tree.
The three Comox Valley municipalities and the Comox Valley Regional District are offering you some great options for doing just that, and giving back in the process. Here are the details by location for Christmas tree disposal:
Christmas trees can be dropped off for chipping at the following locations:
- Saturday, Jan. 2 and Sunday, Jan. 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Comox fire hall, 1870 Noel Avenue, Comox and the Courtenay fire department, 650 Cumberland Road, Courtenay. Donations will go to local charities.
- The Town of Comox and the City of Courtenay also offer home pick up of Christmas trees for a minimum $5 donation by calling their fire halls:
Comox: 250-339-2432
Courtenay: 250-334-2513

- Christmas trees will be accepted free of charge at Comox Valley Waste Management Centre, Pidgeon Lake Road in Cumberland and the Campbell River Waste Management Centre, 6700 Argonaut Road. Both waste management centres are open seven days a week from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
