Christmas trees will be collected in Petawawa during the week of January 6, 2025 on your regular collection schedule day.

Christmas trees are collected separately from all other material.  Trees need to be laid flat, not stuck in a snowbank upright, for separate collection. Trees must be void of any ornaments, lights or other decorations.  Do not place trees in your green cart.  No artificial trees will be collected. Natural trees only. Trees wrapped in plastic will not be collected.

The Ottawa Valley Waste Recovery Centre turns these trees into wood chips and the material is then used as cover in the composting process or sold as landscaping mulch.

Discover and share financial knowledge in this session of the "Learn Together Series." Participants will engage in small group activities and discussions designed to explore financial topics. This peer-focused format encourages the exchange of skills, experiences, and insights, allowing participants to both teach and learn from one another. Whether you're looking to refine your financial habits or gain new perspectives, this collaborative session offers a supportive space to grow together.
