christmas trees

[missmoore]

Is there a proper way to dispose of a real christmas tree? Or can I just whack it in the wheelie bin with everything else...

You're local councill run tip will have a seperate container for disposing of your tree in the new year ( at least ours does anyway ).

Our council picks them up in the new year.

Same as gasman; all our tips in Northamptonshire have a specific skip for Xmas trees.

Are you planning well in advance or have you just around to removing last year's tree to enable this year's to fit in?

[missmoore]

well, i'm trying to decide whether to get a real tree or a fake one, and one of the reasons i'd be tempted with a fakie is that it could be difficult getting rid of the dead old carcass.

Hi, I've just bought a real one that is potted and rooted....so hopefully there will be no need to get rid of it....just use it again next year ;o]

oh how could you? That poor little tree, once growing proudly in its original environment.......not harming anyone or anything....and along comes a lumberjack(?) and chops it down, stuffs it in the back of a truck, takes it to market and sells it to the highest bidder, ties it up tightly, - no consideration for its feelings whatsoever....... then to be stuffed in the back of a car, dragged out at the other end, all this time frightened and alone, and then - stuffed in a bucket full of mud and sand, humiliated with garlands and decorations, with a frail little doll shaped figure called a 'fairy' and after a couple of weeks - unfed and lonelier still......YOU WANT TO WHACK IT IN A WHEELIE BIN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE????? Shame on you!!!! Lol
