Christmas Tree Chipping Events
Annually, the City of Vancouver, together with volunteers from the Lions Clubs in Vancouver, provides residents with Christmas tree chipping events during the month of January. In 2009, over 4,000 live cut trees were chipped during the event and composted at the Vancouver Landfill.
Continue to support the Lions Club by bringing your live, cut tree to this year's weekend chipping event. Donations of cash and non-perishable food items will be distributed to local charities. Please view and download the poster (
