MID Devon District Council (MDDC) is advising people to recycle their real Christmas Tree at a local recycling centre such as Punchbowl Recycling Centre, Crediton or Ashley Recycling Centre, Tiverton.

If you are signed up the garden waste collection MDDC will collect your tree and take it to be recycled (maximum size for collection is six foot long with up to a four inch trunk).
