This holiday season, Rocky View County is celebrating a green Christmas by giving back to the environment and to residents. If you take your tree to one of RVC's transfer sites, you'll get something in return. The County's Joanne Walroth explains.


The natural Christmas trees are mulched and made into compost. The new seedlings planted in the spring will replace the trees cut down for the holiday season. 

To receive a coupon for a seedling, residents may bring natural trees to a County transfer site:

Bragg Creek Transfer site: December 22 to January 21
Langdon Transfer site: December 22 to January 21
Irricana Transfer Site: year round

Partner locations also take trees, but the County must be contacted to receive a coupon. Partner sites drop-off dates:

Crossfield Transfer Site: year-round
Airdrie Recycle Depot: December 26 to January 29
Cochrane Eco Centre (Recycle Depot): December 28 to January 28
Bow Point Nursery: December 22 to January 21
Branched Out Nursery: December 22 to January 21

If dropping off a tree at a partner location, contact the County to get your free coupon by email at Hawksley@rockyview.ca or phone 403.520.6378.
