People from Somerset and Devon who purchased a real tree from us will have the chance to recycle it for free in the New Year (2023).

We are shredding Christmas trees for free here from January 3 until 31, 2023.

Bring your tree to us

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

Composted and turned into mulch

After the trees have been shredded, they will be composted and turned into mulch. 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 and it also helps during dry spells to keep the ground moist and warmer in winter.

The mulch will be put out for anyone to help themselves to between January 3-31. Please bring a container or bag to put it in.
