Smart and Sustainable ways to dispose of your Christmas Tree

Did you know that there are sustainable ways to wrap up your Christmas Tree use following the festive celebrations?

Denbighshire County Council is encouraging residents to properly dispose of their Christmas tree, be it real or an artificial one.

If you have an artificial tree, it is recommended that it is reused year after year as much as possible to help reduce waste. When you do decide to dispose of your artificial tree, it can be taken to your local Recycling and Waste Park.

Real trees can be recycled by using the green wheelie bin (if you have a garden waste subscription). Make sure the tree is cut up first to ensure it fits properly in your bin. If you cannot fit it into your bin, real trees can also be taken to the local Recycling and Waste Park for disposal.

Councillor Barry Mellor, Lead Member for Environment and Transport said:

“Celebrating the festive season with Christmas Trees and decorating them is often the highlight of many families’ Christmas period.  When it does come time to dispose of your tree, it is important to remember the correct channels that will really help cut down on waste over the festive period.”
