We’re giving people who had a fresh Christmas tree this yuletide the chance to recycle it for free in the New Year (January 2022).

People who bring their tree to us at Middle Hill Farm in Langford Budville near Wellington from January 4 until 22, 2022 will be able to get it shredded for free.

Decoration-free natural Christmas trees can be taken to any recycling site for composting. But if people can’t get to one of these drop off points, they can bring their tree to us.

If we’re fewer miles than your nearest recycling centre, then you’re being even more sustainable by bringing your tree to us.

There will be an allocated drop off area for the trees and we will shred them throughout January.

After the trees have been shredded, they will be composted and turned into mulch and this will be available for people to collect free of charge, so that they can use it on their own gardens.

Mulch is great to use on flower beds because it suppresses weeds. It also helps during dry spells to keep the ground moist and to keep it warmer in winter.

Anyone who would like to collect some free mulch to use on their own garden should contact us to arrange collection in February
