Christmas tree recycling - Contact your local council for facilities

If you are wondering what to do with your real Christmas tree after the festive season, you can visit the website of your Local Borough Council to check what facilities they have in place for recycling and reuse of used Christmas trees.

A number of local councils have designated dates which they have allocated for collection of Christmas trees. Some local councils will collect the trees as well as Christmas cards to be recycled. Christmas cards can be put in the paper and card recycling boxes or bags provided.

Real Christmas trees can be left on the side of the pavement next to your wheelie bin along with other recyclable items, which will be picked up at the allocated times or days specified by your local council. Please contact your local council for information.

Recycled Trees can be used for a number of things such as firewood, mulch, which helps to keep weeds out. Those are already two uses I can think of. If you can think of any more, then leave a comment in the comment section below the post.

Weeds - Mulching helps to control them

You learn something new everyday, and today I have learned that I can buy mulch and use it to cover and protect the top of the soil in the garden in order to keep the weeds out. The weeds seem to love my garden, I'm constantly pulling them out and a few days later, they are back again...So, mulch to the rescue....

Also weedkillers are expensive as well as dangerous and can irritate your skin so using mulch will replace the need for dangerous weedkillers.

Did you know that mulch also helps to keep the moisture in, helping to reduce evaporation from the soil.
