The festive season often brings an increase in waste, with discarded Christmas trees making up a significant part of the problem. To help tackle this, Crosspool residents are invited to take part in the Crosspool Forum’s annual Christmas Tree Recycling initiative, an easy, eco‑friendly way to dispose of your tree responsibly.
Drag your Christmas tree down to the forecourt of Direct Travel on Sunday 4th January 2025, between 10am and 11.30am were Andrew Clayton, a local tree specialist, will be ready to recycle it for you. The shredded material will be used for mulching and composting purposes.
This community‑funded scheme provides a tree‑shredding service supported by small donations from residents. In recent years, the initiative has recycled hundreds of trees, diverting substantial waste from landfill. The shredded material is then put to good use for mulching and composting.
By choosing this recycling option over traditional disposal methods, residents help reduce pollution, support sustainability, and contribute to local environmental projects. It’s a simple action that makes a meaningful difference.
The Crosspool Forum extends its sincere thanks to Direct Travel for their generous support and cooperation. We look forward to seeing many Crosspool residents join in and help advance our community’s environmental goals.
