Christmas tree recycling 2014

christmas tree

Did you know? In the UK we get through almost 8 million real Christmas trees every year!

We estimate therefore that there must be about 60,000 dead Christmas trees left over in the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin this January 2014! Please don't let them go to waste. 

You can compost them at home but its quite a challenge for most of us with small back gardens, so the lazy option to recycle real Christmas trees simply by putting them out for collection along with your garden waste or taking them to the local tip.  All real Christmas trees collected will get sent for commercial composting on local farms where they are shredded and rotted down to be turned into a valuable soil improver for local farmers.

Don't forget - remove any tinsel and other decorations first!
