Recycle your Christmas tree!
- Please remove all decorations and tinsel.
- A suggested minimum donation of $5 is appreciated.
- Drop off your tree at UBC Botanical Garden. Follow the signs and place your tree behind the orange posts. They will be chipped into mulch and used on garden trails.
- No yard trimmings – invasive plants from other areas can harm the Garden.
Listen to UBC Botanical Garden’s Patrick Lewis speak about the Tree Recycling Program at the 43:35 mark of the CBC podcast, BC Almanac.
Tree chipping is generously supported by UBC Building Operations and UBC Custodial Services.
