Once collected, the trees will be shredded, before being composted along with the rest of the island’s green waste and being processed into a soil conditioner. This conditioner will be available for islanders to collect, free of charge.
“The trees will certainly be put to good use, and we hope as many people as possible will consider recycling them,” said States Recycling Officer Tina Norman-Ross.
“Not only is it great for the environment, but it is also a very convenient way to dispose of them, and we hope that having so many drop-off points makes this as easy as possible.

“This could even make a great opportunity to spread good will, by offering to recycle your neighbour’s tree at the same time. Just remember to remove all your tinsel, baubles and trimmings before dropping them off.”
