Holiday Waste Tips
Compost Your Real Christmas Tree
Option 1: Put your tree in your
green cart
• Cut your tree into small pieces to
fit inside your green cart. Make
sure the lid can close.
• Put extra branches into paper yard
waste bags, roll close, and set 0.5 me-
tres (two feet) to the side of your cart.
Trees that are not prepared this way
will not be collected.
Option 2: Bring to a tree drop-off
between Dec. 26 and Jan. 31
Tree drop-offs will be available
around the city to compost your
Christmas tree.
• Remove all lights, ornaments, tinsel,
string, and tree stands.
• Do not wrap or bag your tree.

preparing or updating your will
It is important for everyone to have a will – people often have more assets than
they think. An important part of estate planning is having a will, along with an
Enduring Power of Attorney (EPA), and a Personal Directive (PD).
To prepare a will, you need to decide who your executor(s) will be, name a
guardian for your children if they are under the age of 18, and decide who will
benefit from your estate. You can prepare a will at any time, and existing wills
should be updated, especially if there are major changes in your life, such as
getting married, starting a family, the death of a family member, or a divorce.
We make this process easy and help to put your mind at ease. Call or email us to
book your appointment today.
For over 25 years Shibley & Company has been supporting clients in northwest
Calgary, and we take pride in consistently delivering personalised service.
Please call us at 403.275.3230 or visit us online at ShibleyAndCompany.ca for
more information.
Book your appointment prior to the end of January 2021 and receive a
10% discount on your will package.
