People from Somerset and Devon who purchased a real tree from us will have the chance to recycle it at the farm in the New Year (2024). We are accepting Christmas trees from January 2 until 31, 2024.

Bring your tree to us

Decoration-free natural Christmas trees can be taken to any recycling site for composting – Somerset Waste Partnership has lots of tips for managing your Christmas waste, not just your Christmas tree. But if you can’t get to one of these drop off points, for a donation you can arrange a collection via St Margaret’s Hospice, or 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 later in the year.

Composted and turned into mulch

After the trees have been shredded, they will be composted and turned into mulch. This will then be used throughout the plantation. Mulch is great to use between the trees because it suppresses weeds and it also helps during dry spells to keep the ground moist and warmer in winter.
