In Windsor, the city asks residents to look for the Christmas tree symbol on their waste collection calendar for this month. It will indicate the yard waste day to put your tree on the curb for pick-up.

In Kingsville, there are several Christmas tree drop off locations that will remain open until the end of January.

• Kingsville Arena, 1741 Jasperson Dr. (southeast parking lot)

The town provides door-to-door pick-up by appointment only on Jan. 13, 14, and 15, 2025. If you require a pick-up, call 519-733-2305 in advance to schedule.
