🎄 Turn Your Christmas Tree Into Community Support This January

The holidays may be winding down, but the spirit of giving is still going strong in New Westminster! Residents are invited to bring their natural Christmas trees to the Tree Chip Event 2026, happening Saturday and Sunday, January 3 and 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at New Westminster City Hall.

This beloved post-holiday tradition makes it easy to recycle your tree responsibly while giving back to the community. The event is by donation, with all proceeds supporting the New Westminster Fire Fighters, who continue to make a difference through local programs and community support.

Located at 511 Royal Avenue (access off 4th Street and Royal Avenue), the Tree Chip Event is a simple, feel-good way to wrap up the season. Bring your tree, make a donation, and know you’re helping both the environment and the people who serve our city every day.

Recycle your tree, support a great cause, and keep the holiday cheer alive—New West style! 🌟🚒

Bring Your Tree and Support a Local Cause!
