Anyone with a real Christmas tree can bring it to one of Northampton Borough Council's shredding events for composting.
The first is on Wednesday, 6 January at B & Q on Towcester Road between 10am and 3pm. The second is on Saturday, 9 January at Billing Garden Store, The Causeway also between 10am and 3pm.
For people who can’t make those two days, they can recycle their Christmas tree by putting it in the skip that will be available at Billing Garden Store from 4 until 11 January or take it to the Household Waste Recycling Centres.
