City Announces Changes to Christmas Tree Disposal Sites
Following the holiday season, Fredericton residents can drop off their Christmas trees for recycling at one of nine designated areas throughout the city, including two new locations this year.
New sites at the Green Village store in Lower St. Mary's and the Malloy Park/Fisher Field parking lot on the corner of McEvoy and Noble streets, have been added to the list of locations accepting trees between December 26 and January 18. The two new locations replace Carleton Park, which is no longer designated as a tree-disposal site.
The nine designated areas include
· Royal Road Park (parking lot adjacent to the Royal Road Fire Station)
· Fulton Heights (parking lot off main entrance to Nashwaaksis Middle School)
· Malloy Park / Fisher Field (parking lot at McEvoy and Noble Streets off MacLaren Avenue)
· Marysville Heritage Centre (parking lot off McGloin Street)
· Green Village store (Lower St. Mary's)
· Kimble Drive (vacant lot opposite the Fredericton Community Garden at 150 Kimble Drive)
· Odell Park (parking lot in corner of the lot off Waggoners Lane)
· Queens Square Park (parking lot adjacent to pool building off Aberdeen
· Angelview Park (parking lot off Woodstock Road).
For staff and equipment safety please do not leave wreaths, artificial trees or any other materials that are not natural Christmas trees and remove all stands, tinsel, ornaments, screws, plastic, strings, nails and wires as these objects are not recyclable.
Each of these areas will be designated with Christmas Tree Disposal Area signs. All the trees collected this year will be chipped and recycled for compost by the City of Fredericton Parks & Trees Division.
