Peel residents can soon leave out their discarded Christmas trees and wreaths for collection by the Region of Peel on designated recycling days.

Trees taller than three metres (10 feet) left out during the collection period, between Jan. 13-24, should be cut in half.

All plastic bags, ornaments, tinsel, nails, wire and tree stands should be removed from your tree or wreath.

If you live in a condo or apartment, set your tree on the curb by the driveway entrance of the property, ensuring you don't obstruct the road or sidewalk.
