For people ready to take down their Christmas trees after a low-key, festive weekend, the City of Thompson is reminding residents the best way to dispose of them.

Real Christmas trees can be dropped off at the TRCC behind the ball fields, which will then be used for the annual Winterfest bonfire.

Events Coordinator Darlene Dick says the bonfire will be done virtually this year due to current public health orders.

As for fake trees, the city says they will have to be taken to the landfill as they are not recyclable.
