Did you know? In the UK we get through 8 million real Christmas trees every year! As such by my estimate that means there are around 40,000 dead Christmas trees left over in the Shropshire Council area alone. Please don't let them go to waste.
You can recycle real Christmas trees simply by putting them out for collection along with your garden waste or by taking them to your local Household Recycling Centre (HRC). All real Christmas trees collected will be 'recycled' (actually they get sent for composting) and turned into valuable soil improver for local farmers.
Top tips
•Make sure you put the tree out on the correct day for your garden waste collection.
•If you can please try to get the tree into your garden waste bin.
•If you cannot, you may leave the tree next to your garden waste bin.
•To help the crews please cut trees down to a maximum 5 foot (1.5m) lengths.
•Please make sure you remove any tinsel and other decorations first.
