Tree Chipping

Community Tree Chipping Events

Make a positive impact this holiday season by recycling your natural Christmas tree at a local tree-chipping event. These events help reduce waste, support local community groups, and turn trees into mulch for reuse.

Bring your tree, free of stands, decorations, tinsel, and flocking, to one of these locations:

• Friends of Mundy Park Heritage Society
  Mundy Park – Hillcrest Parking Lot (641 Hillcrest Street)
  Saturday, January 3, and Sunday, January 4, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.

• Scouts francophone de Maillardville
  Canadian Tire Parking Lot (1200 Seguin Drive)
  Saturday, January 3, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

• Kinsmen Club of Coquitlam
  Town Centre Park - Lot A
  Saturday, January 3, and Sunday, January 4, 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Donations are welcome and go directly to supporting group activities and programs in Coquitlam.

Please note: Christmas trees may only be dropped off during scheduled event hours. Leaving trees in park parking lots or at event sites outside of these times is not permitted.
