How to recycle your real Christmas tree in Honiton

With Christmas behind us many people are wondering what to do with their real Christmas trees, thankfully East Devon District Council is putting on a special Christmas tree mulching event in Honiton.

The Christmas Tree recycling event will be taking place in Honiton's Lace Walk car park on Tuesday, January 7, between 8.30am and 11.30am.

If that date does not suit you another mulching event will be taking place in Ottery St Mary's Land of Canaan car park on Tuesday, January 7, between 12.30pm and 2.30pm.

East Devon householders are among the best in the country at recycling as the district now recycles around 60% of the waste that's produced.

The recyclable materials the council collects are valuable resources that are used as raw materials in manufacturing, to generate renewable power or create natural fertiliser for agriculture.

EDDC is holding a number of Christmas tree recycling events in the New Year where you can bring along your real tree to have it mulched.
