Shredding Xmas trees

SUNDAY 6 Jan 2008 - Christmas tree collection at Spendlove
Date: 6 January 2008 10:00 to 15:00
Details:

A free chipping service is being organised by West Oxfordshire District Council to encourage residents to recycle their Christmas trees.

Chippings will be used locally to create environmentally-friendly biomass energy. All people need to do is take their real Christmas trees along and the rest will be done by professionals, for free. After Christmas 2005, the chipping service led to 10.5 tonnes of trees being recycled. 2 tonnes of trees were chipped at Charlbury after Christmas 2006.

Chippers will be at the Spendlove Centre between 10am and 3pm on SUNDAY, January 6th 2008.

Cllr David Harvey, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “The free chipping service is part of the Council’s work towards reducing waste, increasing recycling and supporting renewable energy. It offers a good opportunity for householders to do their bit and we really hope they will take advantage of it.”

Cllr Harvey said he wished to thank Goodwood Tree Care on behalf of the Council for kindly donating the chippers.
