Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Christmas has come and gone for another year, now it’s time to begin the cleanup.
If you used a real tree this year, the City of Regina wants you to recycle it.
Between Dec. 28 and Jan. 31, people can drop their trees off at the Treecycle depots:
- 500 Arcola Ave., between Victoria Avenue and Winnipeg Street
- Joanne Goulet Golf Course – 8045 Kestral Dr.
- Kinsmen Park South – Kings Road and Lakeview Avenue
- City Landfill – 1101 Fleet St.
City staff will be there to assist residents with their trees from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Dec. 31, Jan.7 and Jan. 14.
The city said the trees will be turned into nutrient-rich compost.
It’s asking all decorations be removed from the trees.
More than 44 tonnes of natural Christmas trees were composted at the Treecycle depots last year.
If people choose to drop their tree off at the landfill, they will not be charged.
