Did you know? In the UK we get through 8 million real Christmas trees every year!
As such we estimate there are around 55,000 dead Christmas trees left over
across the Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin area alone. Please don't let them go to waste. They make a great addition to your home compost heap but if you cannot manage them at home the local Councils can deal with them for you.
You can recycle real Christmas trees simply by putting them out for collection along with your garden waste or taking them to your local recycling centre. All real Christmas trees collected will get sent for composting and turned into valuable soil improver for local farmers and horticulturalists to grow food with.
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
