Pembrokeshire residents recycle your Christmas trees

Pembrokeshire residents are being urged to recycle their Christmas trees once the festivities are over.

Pembrokeshire County Council has teamed up with the Pembrokeshire Machinery Ring to hold free tree-shredding sessions in communities across the County in January.

It is estimated that an extra 30% extra waste is produced at this time of year.

As well as shredding real trees and their woody trimmings, waste staff say fruit and vegetable peelings can also go in compost bins, along with cardboard egg boxes, tea bags, coffee grounds, crumpled card and newspapers.

However, leftover cooked food should not be included.

Tree/trimming shredding sessions are taking place at the following venues:
