So, what is the Xmas Tree Wrap-Up?
Did you know the City of London is not picking up your Christmas Tree this year?
Help kick hunger to the curb along with your Christmas Tree on January 8th & 9th!
Last year, when the City of London announced that they were no longer collecting
Christmas trees curbside, the team at Frattas Events came up with an idea to solve that issue and raise money for the London Food Bank – and the X-Mas Tree Wrap Up was born!
The premise: people within the city of London, make a minimum $10 donation to the Food Bank and then our team of volunteers goes and collects their used Christmas tree curbside. The steps on how to register are below. And you can check out the event website HERE!
Step 1:
Donate & Schedule Pickup
Donate $10 or more and select your pickup date & location. 100% of proceeds support the London Food Bank.
Step 2:
Remove Decorations & Bring Tree to Curb
Ensure all decorations, lights, and tinsel are removed from your tree. Then place it at the curb before 7 AM on your scheduled pickup day. We’ll collect it contactlessly!
Step 3:
Smile, Sit Back, and Relax!
Your work is done! Thanks for supporting the London Food Bank.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doesn’t the City of London offer curbside Christmas tree collection?
The city ended curbside Christmas tree pickup as of 2021. The other options to dispose of your Christmas tree are: 1) dropping your tree off directly at the London Enviro Depot, or 2) storing your tree until the spring when it can be collected with yard waste.

I have more than one tree to be picked up. Can I make more than one donation?
Absolutely! Just enter a custom donation amount that reflects the number of trees to be picked up.
Do I have to be home when my tree is collected?
Nope! The pickup is completely contactless. Just ensure your tree is placed at the curb by 7 AM on your scheduled pickup day and we’ll take care of the rest.
