With the aim to reduce post-Christmas waste, Birmingham City Council is offering a free Christmas tree recycling service to create clean biomass electricity.
Every year, the citizens of the UK need 6 million Christmas trees to celebrate the biggest holiday in the world. We, in the United States, need about 30 million Christmas trees. Ever wondered where do these Christmas trees end up?
Now, the good news is that Birmingham City Council has come up with a great plan — the council is offering a free recycling service where you can donate your old Christmas trees to be turned into biomass electricity.
According to BBC, the City Council has opened up four pick-up points across the City of Birmingham from 26th December till the end of January.
St Mary’s Hospice is also aiding this noble initiative. The organization will offer a charity service that will collect the trees.
We're pleased to be able to offer our free-of-charge service for the responsible disposal of unwanted Christmas trees," "They aren't the easiest items to get rid of, so this gives people a simple and convenient option rather than making a booking for one of our household recycling centers.
