How To Dispose Of Your Christmas Tree

Wondering what to do with your old Christmas tree?
Here are some creative and eco-friendly ideas to repurpose or recycle it.
Compost

Christmas trees are biodegradable and make a great addition to your compost pile! Speed up the process by cutting the branches into small pieces or shredding them.

Mulch

Turn your tree into mulch! Shake off the pine needles and spread them around your garden—they decompose slowly and resist mold. Have access to a chipper? You can turn the entire tree into wood chips, perfect for landscaping. Did you know, you can hire a chipper from us?

Recycle

Check if your local authority offers a tree recycling program. Often, trees can be wrapped in netting or twine and dropped off at a recycling point. Alternatively, see if your local council offers collection services. Check your local area here.

Bird Sanctuary

Transform your tree into a haven for birds! Place it near a bird feeder and let birds nest in its branches. Alternatively, get the kids involved by rolling pine cones in peanut butter and birdseed, then nestle them in the tree for feathered friends to enjoy all winter.

Fish Habitat

If you live near a waterway, your tree can become shelter for fish. Always check with local authorities before adding it to any water system!

Replant

If your tree still has roots, replant it in your garden! Dig a large hole, water thoroughly and add a thick layer of mulch for insulation. A little extra care will help it thrive through the winter.
