Comox Firefighters Christmas Tree Recycling - Jan 2&3, 2021

Need your Christmas tree taken care of after Christmas? Comox Fire Rescue will be hosting its annual Tree Chipping Event on Jan 2 & 3 between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm on Saturday & Sunday at 1870 Noel Ave. Bring by your used Christmas tree and we'll chip it for you! 

This year there will be contactless TAP as well as e-transfer for donations. 100% of proceeds go to local Y.A.N.A.! Citizens will be asked to stay in their vehicles while firefighters wearing appropriate PPE will remove your tree and collect a donation.

Chief Gord Schreiner says: “Projects like these are a WIN/WIN for our community. I am so proud of our firefighters for everything they do. Not only do they respond to emergencies but they assist our community in so many other ways.

Last year more than $4500 was raised and donated to Comox Valley Y.A.N.A

For 2020 a new addition to the fundraising campaign will be limited edition Comox Fire Rescue Chocolate Bars. Local sourced from “Hot Chocolates”, these fundraising chocolate bars are offered in milk or dark chocolate. The chocolate bars will be $5 each, with all proceeds also being donated to Y.A.N.A

YANA’s Kelly Rusk states: “The support from these firefighters in Comox has been awesome. They have been with us since our very beginnings and assist us in many fundraising events.”

“Our Firefighters love giving back to our community.” says Schreiner,  “I would also like to thank all those citizens who donate to this great cause.” 

If you are unable to bring your tree to us, give us a call at 250-339-2432 to arrange a pick up on Jan 2nd or 3rd.
