If you're staring at your Christmas tree and thinking "It's time to go," here's how to give your Christmas tree the proper send-off it deserves.

A few things to keep in mind:

The city is operating the following Christmas tree drop off sites through Jan. 31:

• Lawson Heights Recycling Depot – Primrose Drive by the Lawson Civic Centre

• University Heights Recycling Depot – Ludlow Street (off Lowe Road)

• Meadowgreen Recycling Depot – corner of 22nd Street West and Witney Avenue

• George Ward Pool parking lot – 1915 5th St E & Grosvenor Avenue

• Wildwood Golf Course parking lot – 4050 8th Street East

• Doukhobor Society parking lot - 525 Avenue I South at 17th Street

The City of Saskatoon suggests those looking to retire an artificial tree consider donating it instead of disposing at the landfill.
