PEMBROKESHIRE County Council has once again teamed up with local charity FRAME to provide a free kerbside collection of real Christmas trees.

It follows last year’s successful scheme when over five tons of trees were collected before being shredded for compost.

Pembrokeshire County Council is a strategic partner of FRAME and works closely with the charity to provide environmental services for the County.

Residents can arrange a collection online via ‘My Account’ or by calling Pembrokeshire County Council's contact centre on 01437 764551.

Requests can be made from Monday 17th December through to Wednesday 9th January. Requests after this date will not be processed.

Collections will run from Monday, 7th January to Wednesday, January 23rd.

“We’re delighted to be offering this service again,” said cabinet member for the Environment and Welsh Language Councillor Cris Tomos.

“Working with FRAME we’re making it easy for residents to dispose of their real Christmas Trees once the festive season is over and I’ve no doubt it will prove as popular, if not more so, than it did last year.”

Other options for dealing with real Christmas trees include cutting them into small pieces and placing them in the Garden Waste Bin ready for collection in the spring or taking them to one of the County's six Civic Amenity and Recycling Centres.
