NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 30, 2015
Recycle Your Christmas Tree Once again, the City of North Battleford will be recycling trees into chips for mulch. The mulch is used in tree and shrub beds, improving growth by retaining moisture and suppressing weed growth. Due to a decrease in the number of residents using real Christmas trees, the City of North Battleford no longer conducts back alley Christmas tree pickup. Instead, there is one FREE drop off location available only: 1. City of North Battleford Parks and Recreation Shop at 11202 – 8 th Avenue (during regular business hours 8:00 am – 5:00 pm) This service will run from December 30 th until January 30th , 2016. It is extremely important for all lights, string, wire, ornaments, tinsel, fake snow and bags to be removed before recycling your tree. Materials left on trees can damage City equipment and become mixed in the mulch, which degrades its usefulness. Residents can also take their tree directly to the Waste Management Facility, during regular hours of operation at the regular charged price.
