Todays Recycling Event
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.

Christmas Tree Recycling
The festive season often leads to increased waste, particularly with discarded Christmas trees contributing to landfill issues. To address this, residents of Crosspool can participate in the Crosspool Forum’s annual Christmas tree recycling initiative, which provides an eco-friendly disposal solution. This program involves a tree-shredding service funded by small donations from residents. The initiative has successfully processed hundreds of trees in recent years, significantly reducing landfill waste.
Drag your Christmas tree down to the forecourt of Direct Travel on Sunday 5th 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.
By opting for this recycling program instead of traditional disposal methods, residents help mitigate pollution and promote sustainability. Ultimately, the Crosspool Forum’s initiative not only facilitates responsible tree disposal but also supports local community projects, making it a beneficial choice for environmentally conscious residents looking for convenient, eco-friendly solutions following the festive season.
The Crosspool Forum is grateful to Direct Travel for their generous support and cooperation in this project. They hope to see many Crosspool residents participate and contribute to the community’s environmental aims.

Crosspool Christmas Tree Shredding
Recognising the importance to dispose of our real Christmas trees sustainably rather than end up in landfill, which is both costly to the taxpayer and the environment,
On Sunday morning 8th January, the Crosspool Forum had arranged a brief window for the community to drag their discarded Christmas trees to the forecourt in front of local travel agents “Direct Travel.”
The huge number of Christmas trees brought for recycling were soon reduced to wood chippings for mulch, outdoor firewood, animal bedding and pathways locally.
It was gratifying to hear the residents of Crosspool appreciate the hard work of the volunteers and the convenience of being able to dispose of their Christmas trees environmentally friendly.
