If you are interested in being part of future litter picks, turn up outside the Spar in the Crosspool precinct at 10am this Saturday and thereafter on the First Saturday of the month. All bags and litter picking kit will be provided.
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.
We are delighted to invite you to participate in our ongoing efforts to maintain a clean and pleasant neighbourhood. Building on the success of previous litter pickings, we aim to continue making a positive impact in the community.
Meet outside the “Spar” in the Crosspool Shopping Precinct. This Saturday, 5th April 2025, Time: 10:00am to 11.15am.
Your involvement is greatly valued, and together we can make a meaningful difference. For further information, please feel free to contact us via email at crosspoolforum@gmail.com
Today’s community Christmas tree recycling event highlighted the community’s commitment to the environment and the joy of giving.
Originally set for two weeks earlier, the event was postponed due to unexpectedly thick snow. The snowy weather, which turned into ice and lasted for over a week, presented challenges not only for the recycling efforts but also for the general movements of individuals within our community.
Although residents were disappointed by the delay, today, the community came together enthusiastically to recycle their trees, sharing joyful stories and laughter.
Crosspool Forum volunteers ensured everything went smoothly, while local business “Direct Travel” provided warm drinks and the volunteers provided treats for the children.
Overall, the event was a success, demonstrating community spirit and environmental responsibility. It reminded everyone of the importance of supporting each other and caring for the environment.
Great News! With the weather forecast predicting the retreat of the snow and ice, leading to improved conditions, it sounds like a perfect time for you to recycle your Christmas tree.
 Drag your tree down to outside Direct Travel, Crosspool. This Sunday, 19th January, at 10 am! Suggested Donation: £3
Remember to remove all decorations before recycling your tree!
No trees accepted after 11:30 am.
Due to dangerous weather conditions, we have reluctantly had to cancel today’s Christmas tree recycling event in Crosspool, outside Direct Travel . The safety of our community is our top priority.
